Abstract

We investigate stochastic utility maximization games under relative performance concerns in both finite-agent and infinite-agent (graphon) settings. An incomplete market model is considered where agents with power (CRRA) utility functions trade in a common risk-free bond and individual stocks driven by both common and idiosyncratic noise. The Nash equilibrium for both settings is characterized by forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) with a quadratic growth generator, where the solution of the graphon game leads to a novel form of infinite-dimensional McKean-Vlasov FBSDEs. Under mild conditions, we prove the existence of Nash equilibrium for both the graphon game and the nn-agent game without common noise. Furthermore, we establish a convergence result showing that, with modest assumptions on the sensitivity matrix, as the number of agents increases, the Nash equilibrium and associated equilibrium value of the finite-agent game converge to those of the graphon game.
