This study seeks to construct a basic reinforcement learning-based AI-macroeconomic simulator. We use a deep RL (DRL …) approach (DDPG) in an RBC macroeconomic model. We set up two learning scenarios, one of which is deterministic without the … technological shock and the other is stochastic. The objective of the deterministic environment is to compare the learning agent …
