Although economic theory yields ambigu...
متن کاملEfficiency in prediction markets, evidence from SciCast.org
Prediction markets have been proposed as an mechanism for collective information elicitation. We analyze data from SciCast, an online prediction market focused on events of scientific interest, to understand the predictive power of the prices to forecast events. Users receive a fixed number of points (5,000) when they join the site, and can trade contingent claims on the different outcomes of t...
