I recently received a paper on the Ottoman Elections of 1918 at Explorations . . . but it turns out there were no such elections!
It turns out that the paper was an elaborate fraud. The author rewrote an excellent JCE paper on the industrialization and the Russian Revolution. They put it through AI to rewrite the text but they kept everything else the same. So there are regressions with "distance to petrograd" and "distance to Moscow" in them.
The maps they produce have the geo-coordinates of Russia, not the Ottoman Empire.

1/ Could more empathy improve working conditions? In a study with the Philippine government, we find that a family photo, shared with the employer, can reduce mistreatment of migrant domestic workers. Out now in the JPE Micro.

I’ve been doing a series on Claude code for “quantitative social scientists” on my substack. It’s not much a series I guess as much as I am regularly documenting what I’m learning. It started mid Dec 2025 and will continue.

Here you go! tinyurl.com/yrt5z8j2 Soon we will have a draft 👌. Now, to come back to your first question, two recent papers using AI that I find fascinating are "State of the art" (Gorin, Heblich, Zylberberg) and "Images" (Voth & Yanagizawa-Drott), but you alredy know these😁

If self-promotion is allowed 😅 I’m working on a project called "Migrant Voices" where we use LLMs to read thousands of immigrants’ letters and systematically extract and analyze topics from them. Happy to share slides if you’re interested!
