We propose and investigate a discrete-time mean field game model involving risk-averse agents, each of them controlling a linear dynamical system. The model under study is a coupled system of dynamic programming equations with a Kolmogorov equation. The agents’ risk aversion is modeled by composite risk measures. The existence of a solution to the coupled system is obtained with a fixed point approach. The corresponding feedback control allows to construct an approximate Nash equilibrium for a related dynamic game with finitely many players.
