Using deep Q-learning to understand the tax evasion behavior of risk-averse firms
Designing tax policies that are effective in curbing tax evasion and maximize state revenues requires a rigorous understanding of taxpayer behavior. This work explores the problem of determining the strategy a self-interested, risk-averse tax entity is expected to follow, as it “navigates” in the context of a Markov Decision Process a government-controlled tax environment that includes random a...
متن کاملEndogenous Fixprices and Sticky Price Adjustment of Risk-averse Firms
A risk-averse price-setting firm which knows the quantity demanded at the status quo price but has imperfect information otherwise may choose not to change it although an otherwise identical risk-neutral firm would do so, provided the variance of the firm's subjective probability distribution over quantities demanded as a function of price displays a kink at the status quo. This is equivalent t...
متن کاملReinforcement Learning Leads to Risk Averse Behavior
Animals and humans often have to choose between options with reward distributions that are initially unknown and can only be learned through experience. Recent experimental and theoretical work has demonstrated that such decision processes can be modeled using computational models of reinforcement learning (Daw et al, 2006; Erev & Barron, 2005; Sutton & Barto, 1998). In these models, agents use...
متن کاملSpeculative Risk Averse Investor Behavior in a Pure Exchange Economy
We study a pure exchange economy where two classes of infinitely-lived identical isoelastic traders with heterogeneous expectations about state transitions trade a risky asset and a riskless bond. We provide conditions on agents’ preferences and beliefs under which a speculative phenomenon as reported in Harrison and Kreps (1978) arises. No speculation appears when the risk aversion coefficient...
متن کاملRisk Averse Behavior in Asymmetric Matching Pennies Games
This paper studies several variants of 2 × 2 games with unique mixed strategy equilibria, which we call asymmetric matching pennies games. In experimental studies of behavior in these games, observed choice frequencies are typically much different from the mixed strategy Nash predictions. This paper reports experimental results for a variety of such games, and shows that a structural econometri...
