用可解释的税收机制,让风险定价市场既赚钱又更公平

Balancing Profit and Fairness in Risk-Based Pricing Markets

  • 设计可解释的税收政策,通过局部差距约束全局排斥
  • 在医保和信贷市场中,公平性提升最高达16%,社会福利更好
  • 适合关注算法监管与公平市场设计的研究者和政策制定者

动态风险定价可能系统性地将弱势群体排除在健康保险和消费信贷等关键资源之外。我们表明,监管者可通过学习并可解释的税制安排,重新对齐私人激励与社会目标。首先,我们提出一个形式化命题:限制每个企业的局部人口差距,能隐含约束全局退出差异,从而支持企业层面的惩罚机制。基于此,我们构建了开源、可扩展的仿真平台 exttt{MarketSim},模拟异质消费者与利润最大化企业,并训练一个强化学习社会规划者(SP),在保持接近简单线性先验的同时,选择分段公平税制,使用 $\ackslashmathcal{L}_1$ 正则化确保透明性。在两个实证校准市场——美国健康保险与消费信贷中,该规划者在无显式协调下,相比自由市场使需求公平性提升最高达16%,且社会福利优于固定线性税制。结果表明,人工智能辅助监管可将竞争性社会困境转化为双赢均衡,为公平导向的市场监管提供原则性与实践性框架。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Dynamic, risk-based pricing can systematically exclude vulnerable consumer groups from essential resources such as health insurance and consumer credit. We show that a regulator can realign private incentives with social objectives through a learned, interpretable tax schedule. First, we provide a formal proposition that bounding each firm's \emph{local} demographic gap implicitly bounds the \emph{global} opt-out disparity, motivating firm-level penalties. Building on this insight we introduce \texttt{MarketSim} -- an open-source, scalable simulator of heterogeneous consumers and profit-maximizing firms -- and train a reinforcement learning (RL) social planner (SP) that selects a bracketed fairness-tax while remaining close to a simple linear prior via an $\mathcal{L}_1$ regularizer. The learned policy is thus both transparent and easily interpretable. In two empirically calibrated markets, i.e., U.S. health-insurance and consumer-credit, our planner simultaneously raises demand-fairness by up to $16\%$ relative to unregulated Free Market while outperforming a fixed linear schedule in terms of social welfare without explicit coordination. These results illustrate how AI-assisted regulation can convert a competitive social dilemma into a win-win equilibrium, providing a principled and practical framework for fairness-aware market oversight.
