ConsumerSim reconstructs official CCI series from synthetic populations and multi-source signals, outperforming baselines on reconstruction metrics and aiding short-horizon activity predictions.
Centralized matching mechanisms outperform free negotiation in stability and efficiency with LLM agents, who also report preferences truthfully more often than humans, though not always in line with strategy-proofness predictions.
Minor perturbations in persona format, instruction framing, and network structure shift cooperation by up to 76 percentage points and polarization metrics consistently, showing that LLM social simulations require per-claim robustness audits via the new TRAILS taxonomy.
A Bayesian framework disentangles topic, agreement, and anchoring biases from interaction effects in LLM multi-turn dialogues, revealing convergence to attractors that shift with fine-tuning.
The SIVE experiment finds that an LLM synthetic population recovers its imposed latent structure across seven pre-registered criteria in responses to positive-to-negative water-network messages, with all criteria passing at every temperature.
Simulations show that cooperative outcomes in network games with personality-driven LLM agents depend on both network connectivity and the placement of pro-social personalities, not just pairwise interaction preferences.
The paper maps LLM agent architectures onto a six-level continuum and argues that higher levels can enable simulation of emergent social phenomena while requiring attention to reproducibility and ethical issues.
