We propose a comprehensive framework for policy gradient methods tailored to continuoustimereinforcementlearning. This is based on the connection between stochastic control problems and randomised problems, enabling applications across various classes of Markovian continuoustime control problems, beyond diffusion models, including e.g. regular, impulse and optimal stopping/switching problems. By utilizing change of measure in the control randomisation technique, we derive a new policy gradient representation for these randomised problems, featuring parametrised intensity policies. We further develop actor-critic algorithms specifically designed to address general Markovian stochastic control issues. Our framework is demonstrated through its application to optimal switching problems, with two numerical case studies in the energy sector focusing on real options.
