Mean field games and mean field control in economics

 

16th and 17th of December
Amphithéâtre Darboux, Institut Henri Poincaré, Paris

 

We are now twenty years after the formulation of a general mathematical theory of mean field games, which induced itslef a growing interest in mean field control from mathematicians. Most of the recent mathematical developments have been quite independent from economics concern, and vice versa. Quite far from sounding pessimistic, this conference aims at bringing together the two communities, to revive and start the natural interactions between them.
