Marginal Revolution’s Tyler Cowen on prediction markets used by businesses: SO-SO.

Posted on April 21, 2007 by Chris F. Masse

Here’s the Marginal Revolution link.

If you are a prediction market vendor/consultant (Consensus Point, NewsFutures, Inkling, Hollywood Stock Exchange, Zocalo, etc.), please go there and post a comment on the topic of internal prediction markets used by firms.

Tyler Cowen seems a bit skeptical. Give the names of your clients, and hint at their satisfaction with this new forecasting tool.

Let’s crash the skeptics. :)

    Professor Tyler Cowen has a screw lose. :)

    Nah, I don’t think Cowen is crazy. He’s a sometime bomb thrower much like you, but goes for inscrutability over hyperbole. I get a kick out of both of you.

    U are a much more radical thinker than I am.

    I view Tyler Cowen as an experimental blogger. He tries to discover mutant ideas.
