Peter Carr Brooklyn Quant Experience (BQE) Lecture Series: Nizar Touzi
We are excited to welcome Nizar Touzi, the new Department Chair for the Department of Finance and Risk Engineering at NYU Tandon to kick off our lecture series for the Fall 2023 semester.
Title
Mean Field Game Approach to Systemic Risk Modeling
Abstract
We start with an overview of the basics of stochastic control theory, mean field control, Nash equilibria in the context of stochastic differential games, and mean field games. Next, we develop an application to the problem of optimal cross holding within a population of homogeneous agents.
