The Ideation Bottleneck: Decomposing the Quality Gap Between AI-Generated and Human Economics Research

Research reveals AI-generated economics papers significantly underperform human-authored publications, with idea quality representing the primary bottleneck (71% of the gap) rather than execution quality. Analysis of 953 papers shows human research achieves 47.1% exceptional probability versus 16.5% for AI, with only 0.8% of AI papers surpassing median human quality on both dimensions.

Individual and Combined Effects of English as a Second Language and Typos on LLM Performance

Research reveals that Large Language Models (LLMs) experience greater performance degradation when facing English as a Second Language (ESL) inputs combined with typographical errors, compared to either factor alone. The study tested eight ESL variants with three levels of typos, finding that evaluations on clean English may overestimate real-world model performance.

Metaphors We Compute By: A Computational Audit of Cultural Translation vs. Thinking in LLMs

New research reveals that Large Language Models (LLMs) exhibit cultural bias and Western defaultism when generating metaphors across different cultural contexts. The study found that LLMs act more as cultural translators using dominant Western frameworks rather than true culturally-aware reasoning systems, even when prompted with specific cultural identities.

From Abstract to Contextual: What LLMs Still Cannot Do in Mathematics

A new study reveals that large language models, despite excelling at benchmark math problems, struggle significantly with contextual mathematical reasoning where problems are embedded in real-world scenarios. The research shows performance drops of 13-34 points for open-source models and 13-20 points for proprietary models when abstract math problems are presented in contextual settings.

Probing the Lack of Stable Internal Beliefs in LLMs

Research reveals that large language models (LLMs) struggle to maintain consistent internal beliefs or goals across multi-turn conversations, failing to preserve implicit consistency when not explicitly provided context. This limitation poses significant challenges for developing persona-driven AI systems that require stable personality traits and behavioral patterns.

Visuospatial Perspective Taking in Multimodal Language Models

Research reveals that multimodal language models have significant deficits in visuospatial perspective-taking, particularly in Level 2 VPT which requires adopting another person's viewpoint. The study used two human psychology tasks to evaluate MLMs' ability to understand and reason from alternative spatial perspectives.
