摘要:

【目的】市场中的参与者决策主要体现在市场交易行为中。研究市场交易有助于理解市场的运行机制。本文旨在评估大语言模型(Large Language Models,LLMs)能否复现人类在市场交易中的有限理性行为,探究LLMs在市场交易模拟中的潜力和局限。【方法】行为经济学中的框架效应、禀赋效应和心账理论揭示了认知偏差和情感等因素对人类市场交易行为的影响。基于此,本文设计并实施了四类实验:问卷实验、公平价格实验、兑换券和商品交易实验。通过分析LLMs在模拟实验中的回答及交易决策,评估其模拟人类行为的能力。【结果】实验结果表明,LLMs在问卷实验中的表现与人类高度一致,人设、问题表述和事件描述顺序均会影响其决策。但LLMs在定价决策和商品价值评估方面与人类存在差异,未能复现心账理论和禀赋效应。【结论】LLMs在特定情境下能模拟人类的市场交易决策,但在完全复现人类的有限理性决策方面仍存在局限。

Abstract:

[Objective] In markets, participants' decisions are reflected through market trading. Understanding market trading is crucial for grasping the operational mechanisms of markets. This paper aims to assess whether Large Language Models (LLMs) can replicate bounded rationality in human market trading decisions and to explore the potential and limitations of LLMs in market trading simulation. [Methods] Behavioral economics theories, such as framing effect, endowment effect, and mental accounting, highlight how cognitive biases, emotional factors, and external information influence human market trading decisions. These theories form the basis for understanding bounded rationality in human decision-making. Building on these classic theories, this paper designs and implements four types of experiments: a questionnaire simulation, a fair price simulation, a voucher exchange simulation, and a product trading simulation. This study evaluates the human-like consistency of LLMs by analyzing the alignment between LLMs' responses and human decisions in the questionnaire experiments and their trading decisions in the exchange experiments. [Results] The experimental results show that LLMs align closely with humans in the questionnaire experiments. Factors such as persona, phrasing of questions, and the sequence of event descriptions significantly influence LLMs' decisions. However, LLMs differ from humans in pricing decisions and value assessments and fail to reproduce key behavioral patterns implied by mental accounting and the endowment effect. [Conclusions] In conclusion, while LLMs can simulate human market trading decisions in specific contexts, they still face limitations in fully replicating bounded rationality in human decision-making.
