Fusing Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning and Fiscal Theory for Crisis Management
摘要
In this research, we enhance the AI-Economist framework to better analyze economic dynamics during the COVID-19 pandemic using the fiscal theory of price level. We have added new features that allow for more assertive economic interventions by a federal planner, enabling detailed exploration of decisions like subsidy implementation and interest rate adjustments in a fiscally tight environment. Additionally, the utilization of multi-agent reinforcement learning and simulation-based policy analysis frameworks play a pivotal role in enriching our framework’s capabilities to address complex economic scenarios. Our improved model provides insights into managing future global crises by simulating policy responses, highlighting the trade-offs and impacts of various policy options to aid real-world decision-making.
