Viral Narratives: The Role of Narratives for Economic Belief Formation

CORDIS · observation · Publication date unknown

art 2 aims to combine administrative data on high-stakes economic behaviors with economic narratives, as measured with speech recordings. I aim to measure narratives about the labor market effects of Artificial intelligence in large representative samples as well as among journalists, politicians and labor market experts. I then plan to relate narratives to important labor market behaviors and educational choices and to examine their origins. Finally, Part 3 proposes to study the mechanisms behind the persuasiveness of narratives. Our experiments will allow us to cleanly identify how narratives affect belief updating and confidence compared to well-defined Bayesian benchmarks. We plan to examine the mechanisms, with a particular focus on how narratives facilitate the process of mental simulation. These projects trace the journey of economic narratives from their inception and spread to their impacts on behaviors and beliefs, and unveil the underlying cognitive and social mechanisms.
