Learning Nested Agent Models in an Information Economy
We present our approach to the problem of how an agent, within an economic Multi-Agent System, can determine when it should behave strategically (i.e. learn and use models of other agents), and when it should act as a simple price-taker. We provide a framework for the incremental implementation of modeling capabilities in agents, and a description of the forms of knowledge required. The agents ...
متن کاملDecision-theoretic Learning of Agent Models in an Information Economy
We demonstrate how a producer of information goods can use a successively complex series of models to learn the preferences of consumers efficiently. We provide metrics for estimating the precision, accuracy, and learning complexity of different models, thereby providing a producer with the metrics needed to apply decision theory in selecting a sequence of models. We present experimental result...
متن کاملTwo-Sided Learning in an Agent Economy for Information Bundles
Commerce in information goods is one of the earliest emerging applications for intelligent agents in commerce. However, the fundamental characteristics of information goods mean that they can and likely will be o ered in widely varying con gurations. Participating agents will need to deal with uncertainty about both prices and location in multi-dimensional product space. Thus, studying the beha...
متن کاملRational expectations equilibria and the ex-post core of an economy with asymmetric information
We study the relationship between the set of rational expectations equilibrium allocations and the ex-post core of exchange economies with asymmetric information. © 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
متن کاملModel Selection in an Information Economy: Choosing What to Learn
As online markets for the exchange of goods and services become more common, the study of markets composed at least in part of autonomous agents has taken on increasing importance. In contrast to traditional completeinformation economic scenarios, agents that are operating in an electronic marketplace often do so under considerable uncertainty. In order to reduce their uncertainty, these agents...
