Using 85 controlled and 35 public LLMs, the authors show social-simulation accuracy generally improves with compute, but some behavioral and low-resource tasks do not scale.

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.
LLM agents display limited alignment with human emotional responses to red tape across cultures, performing worse in Eastern contexts, while cultural prompting offers little improvement.
