Summary/Abstract: The rapid development of large language models (LLMs) such as generative pre-trained transformers (GPT) have the potential to fundamentally advance many fields, including economics. This paper presents the potential applications of LLMs in economics, highlighting their capabilities and limits in data analysis, forecasting, policy simulation and decision making. The synthetic history of LLMs, the main types and their practical applications in economic research and the ethical considerations encountered in their use are also presented.
