英文摘要:
Learning customer preferences from an observed behaviour is an important topic in the marketing literature. Structural models typically model forward-looking customers or firms as utility-maximizing agents whose utility is estimated using methods of Stochastic Optimal Control. We suggest an alternative approach to study dynamic consumer demand, based on Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL). We develop a version of the Maximum Entropy IRL that leads to a highly tractable model formulation that amounts to low-dimensional convex optimization in the search for optimal model parameters. Using simulations of consumer demand, we show that observational noise for identical customers can be easily confused with an apparent consumer heterogeneity.

中文摘要:
从观察到的行为中了解客户偏好是营销文献中的一个重要主题。结构模型通常将前瞻性客户或公司建模为效用最大化代理,其效用是使用随机最优控制方法估计的。我们提出了一种基于反向强化学习(IRL)的动态消费者需求研究方法。我们开发了一个版本的最大熵IRL,该IRL导致了一个高度易处理的模型公式,该公式相当于在搜索最优模型参数时的低维凸优化。通过对消费者需求的模拟,我们发现相同客户的观测噪声很容易与明显的消费者异质性混淆。
