Speaker: Stephan Zheng; Host: Jiri Stodulka, Susan Shu Chang
Motivation:
The authors extend Reinforcement Learning to tackle economic inequality through learned tax policy design. Our framework optimizes productivity and equality, even when RL agents game taxes. This is a hard two-level RL problem: taxes affect agent rewards, so agents and social planners need to constantly adapt.
