چکیده

Economic agents differ from physical atoms because of the learning capability and memory, which lead to strategic behaviour. Economic agents learn how to interact and behave by modifying their behaviour when the economic environment changes. We show that business fluctuations are endogenously generated by the interaction of learning agents via the phenomenon of regenerative-coordination, i.e. agents choose a learning strategy which leads to a pair of output and price which feedback on learning, possibly modifying it. Mathematically, learning is modelled as a chemical reaction of different species of elements, while inferential analysis develops combinatorial master equation, a technique, which is an alternative approach in modelling heterogeneous interacting learning agents.

Hierarchical Functional Concepts for Knowledge Transfer among Reinforcement Learning Agents

This article introduces the notions of functional space and concept as a way of knowledge representation and abstraction for Reinforcement Learning agents. These definitions are used as a tool of knowledge transfer among agents. The agents are assumed to be heterogeneous; they have different state spaces but share a same dynamic, reward and action space. In other words, the agents are assumed t...

Collective states in social systems with interacting learning agents

We consider a social system of interacting heterogeneous agents with learning abilities, a model close to Random Field Ising Models, where the random field corresponds to the idiosyncratic willingness to pay. Given a fixed price, agents decide repeatedly whether to buy or not a unit of a good, so as to maximize their expected utilities. We show that the equilibrium reached by the system depends...

Essays on Economies with Heterogenous Interacting Consumers

This essay contributes to the discussion about the representative agent’s ability to characterize the collection of agents. I perform two exercises in context of a fairly general multi-product multi-agent environment and show that in order the representative agent to be able to describe the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the society additional assumptions are required. It is established that th...

A Model of Learning and Emulation with Artificial Adaptive Agents

We study adaptive learning behavior in a sequenceofn-period endowment overlapping generations economies with fiat currency, where n refers to the number of periods in agents’ lifetimes. Agents initially have heterogeneous beliefs and seek to form multi-step-ahead forecasts offuture prices using a forecast rule chosen from a vast set of possible forecast rules. Agents take optimal actions given ...

Rational Expectations Equilibria in Dynamic Economies with Interacting Agents

We consider general economies in which rational agents interact locally. The local aspect of the interactions is designed to capture in a simple abstract way social interactions, that is, socio-economic environments in which markets do not mediate all of agents’ choices, and each agent’s choice might be in part determined, for instance, by family, peer group, or ethnic group effects. We study s...
