Overview
This paper started as a term paper freshman year for my environmental economics (ECON-520). More on that paper can be found under my the writing samples portion of my website. After recieving a stellar grade, my professor reached out and asked if I wanted to use my CS background to help him model a firm's investment and payoff in AI technologies, using my term paper as a base. Since then, we have adapted the baseline model from my term paper to include an additional R&D cost toward AI solutions, as well as included the various parts of a firm's profit maximization function where the solutions yield benefits.
Full paper text is withheld pending review. A preprint will be made available upon acceptance.
