| Information markets are markets for contracts that yield payments based on the outcome of an uncertain future event. They are used to predict a wide range of events, from presidential elections to printer sales. These markets frequently outperform both experts and opinion polls, and many scholars believe they have the potential to revolutionize policymaking. The AEI-Brookings Joint Center Prediction Markets Conference, co-hosted by the Prediction Markets Industry Consortium, featured a number of the leading scholars and practitioners of information markets, whose diverse backgrounds fostered discussions covering the many applications of information markets. |
