New ML method tackles moral hazard in policy-making

Researchers have developed a new method using instrumental regression and the generalized method of moments (GMM) to address the challenge of moral hazard in policy-making with machine learning. This approach aims to help policymakers learn effective policies when individual actions cannot be perfectly observed. The study focuses on the multitasking principal-agent contract design problem and offers a characterization of optimal contracts. AI

    Learning Under Moral Hazard with Instrumental Regression and Generalized Method of Moments

    arXiv:2405.20642v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Machine learning has become increasingly popular in informing data-driven policy-making. Policies influence behavior in individuals or populations, and ideally, through observational signals, policy-makers learn which poli…
