Abstract:
In this talk, we discuss a mean-field game price formation
model. This model describes a large number of rational agents that can
trade a commodity with an exogenous supply. The price is determined by
a balance condition between supply and demand. We discuss the
well-posedness of the model, the uniqueness and regularity of the
price function. Then, we examine two explicit models - the
linear-quadratic problem and a model with finitely many agents. Time
permitting, we will examine the connections between this problem and
optimal transport with constraints.
