We present a novel framework for mean field games with finite state space and common noise, where the common noise is given through shocks that occur at random times. We first analyze the game for up to $n$ shocks, in which case we are able…

In the context of simple finite-state discrete time systems, we introduce a generalization of mean field game solution, called correlated solution, which can be seen as the mean field game analogue of a correlated equilibrium. Our notion of…

Mean-field games have been studied under the assumption of very large number of players. For such large systems, the basic idea consists to approximate large games by a stylized game model with a continuum of players. The approach has been…

We prove that solutions to a class of Mean Field Game systems with discount are unique provided that the discount factor is large enough, and the Lagrangian term is (proportionally) small enough. This identifies an asymptotic uniqueness…

We consider deterministic mean field games where the dynamics of a typical agent is non-linear with respect to the state variable and affine with respect to the control variable. Particular instances of the problem considered here are mean…

We study a mean field game in continuous time over a finite horizon, T, where the state of each agent is binary and where players base their strategic decisions on two, possibly competing, factors: the willingness to align with the majority…
