Yves Achdou, Qing Tang

Short summary

A new class of continuous-time heterogeneous agent models, incorporating recursive utility (Epstein-Zin) and a preference for late resolution of uncertainty, is formulated as a mean field game system.

Abstract

We consider continuous-time heterogeneous agent models with recursive utility (Epstein-Zin utility) cast as mean field games, in which agents prefer late resolution of uncertainty. The model leads to a system coupling a pair of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations with state constraints and Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equations. We investigate the existence of solutions to the mean field game system and discuss some important qualitative features of the model.
