Research Seminar Abstract

Abstract: Connections between economic agents are desirable for risk diversification purposes. However, they may also be responsible for default contagion, a major concern at the heart of the financial stability of the system. We develop a model of system connection based on the strategic interaction between economic agents. We solve explicitly the mean field limit of the problem in the case of uncorrelated idiosyncratic risks, and we provide a quasi explicit solution of the mean field game. This allows to provide an approximate Nash equilibrium for the finite population problem. We also solve the case of correlated idiosyncratic risk through some common factor by analyzing an appropriate notion of no arbitrage in this context.
