In this paper we turn our attention to comparing the policy function obtained by Beck and Wieland (2002) to the one obtained with adaptive control methods. It is an integral part of the optimal learning method used by Beck and Wieland to obtain a policy function that provides the optimal control...

In this paper we turn our attention to comparing the policy function obtained by Beck and Wieland (J Econ Dyn Control 26:1359–1377, <CitationRef CitationID="CR6">2002</CitationRef>) to the one obtained with adaptive control methods.

This chapter of the Handbook of Computational Economics is mostly about research on active learning and is confined to discussion of learning in dynamic models in which the system equations are linear, the criterion function is quadratic, and the additive noise terms are Gaussian. Though there...

In this paper we derive the closed loop form of the Expected Optimal Feedback rule, sometimes called passive learning stochastic control, with time varying parameters. As such this paper extends the work of Kendrick (Stochastic control for economic models, <CitationRef CitationID="CR13">1981</CitationRef>; Stochastic control for economic...</citationref>
