Abstract: This is an expanded version of the lecture given at the AMS Short Course on Mean Field Games, on January 13, 2020 in Denver CO. The assignment was to discuss applications of Mean Field Games in finance and economics. I need to admit upfront that several of the examples reviewed in this chapter were already discussed in book form. Still, they are here accompanied with discussions of, and references to, works which appeared over the last three years. Moreover, several completely new sections are added to show how recent developments in financial engineering and economics can benefit from being viewed through the lens of the Mean Field Game paradigm. The new financial engineering applications deal with bitcoin mining and the energy markets, while the new economic applications concern models offering a smooth transition between macro-economics and finance, and contract theory.
