Outline

This paper presents a method to induce human behavior in various scenarios of classical economic games by providing various prompts to a large-scale language model (LLM). By analyzing which prompts induce which actions, we can classify and compare various strategic situations, thereby providing insight into what kind of thinking each economic scenario induces in people. This provides a first step toward a non-standard method for inferring (decoding) the motivations of human behavior, and also shows how to classify differences in behavioral tendencies of different groups using this decoding process.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
We present a novel analysis method for human economic decision-making using large-scale language models.
It contributes to inferring and classifying the motivations of human behavior in various economic scenarios.
It provides a new tool for analyzing differences in behavioral tendencies between different groups.
Limitations:
It is necessary to verify whether LLM's responses perfectly reflect actual human behavior.
The subjectivity of prompt design can influence the results.
Further research is needed to determine the generalizability of the results from analyses using LLM.
LLM may not fully reflect the complex psychological factors of humans.
