Linear Quadratic Mean Field Type Control and Mean Field Games with   Common Noise, with Application to Production of an Exhaustible Resource
  We study a general linear quadratic mean field type control problem and connect it to mean field games of a similar type. The solution is given both in terms of a forward/backward system of stochastic differential equations and by a pair of Riccati equations. In certain cases, the solution to the mean field type control is also the equilibrium strategy for a class of mean field games. We use this fact to study an economic model of production of exhaustible resources.   Keywords: mean field type control, mean field games, linear-quadratic, optimal control, riccati equations, exhaustible resource production
