Finding Regularized Competitive Equilibria of Heterogeneous Agent Macroeconomic Models with Reinforcement Learning
[article]
2023
arXiv
pre-print
The model captures a wide range of applications in macroeconomic studies, and we propose a data-driven reinforcement learning framework that finds the regularized competitive equilibrium of the model. ...
We study a heterogeneous agent macroeconomic model with an infinite number of households and firms competing in a labor market. ...

Meeting the Challenge of Social Problems via Agent-Based Simulation
This paper shall review the development of agent-based computational modeling in macroeconomics. ...
Recent applications of agent-based modeling to macroeconomics define a new research direction, which demonstrates how the macroeconomic system can be modeled and studied as a complex adaptive system. ...

Learning as a Rational Foundation for Macroeconomics and Finance
2011
Social Science Research Network
Further features of learning, such as discounting of older data, use of misspecified models, or heterogeneous choice by agents between competing models, generate novel learning dynamics. ...
This approach provides a stability test for RE equilibria and a selection criterion in models with multiple equilibria. ...
In models with positive feedback, e.g. (2) with 0 as in the Lucas-type monetary model, two "misspecification equilibria" can exist and agents may coordinate on either of the two forecasting models. ...

Can Artificial Economies Help us Understand Real Economies?
2012
Revue de l'OFCE (En ligne)
Rather than persist with models based on the idea that the economy behaves like a rational individual we should build models of the economy as a complex system of interacting agents. ...
They allow us to remove many of the restrictive assumptions of standard models and to incorporate the heterogeneity of economic agents and the evolution of the network that governs the interactions between ...
Now in order to test the stochastic stability of the two equilibria we ran simulations in which agents noisily learn (they use reinforcement learning, (see Bush and Mosteller, 1955 or for a more sophisticated ...

These insights have implication for the analysis of the heterogeneous agent stochastic dynamic general equilibrium models common in finance and macroeconomics. ...
The market selection hypothesis states that, among expected utility maximizers, competitive markets select for agents with correct beliefs. In some economies this holds, while in others it fails. ...
