INTEL BUSINESS CASE: Does Intel really use internal prediction markets?
Chris F. Masse July 20th, 2007
Emile Servan-Schreiber and Chris Hibbert (two veterans of the field of prediction markets) have strong doubts that Intel is using a trading mechanism. (Nothing wrong with using a non-trading mechanism, we just want to know for sure. 
)
I will re-read the Intel paper later on, but here is a quick stats: the phrase “prediction markets” is used 15 times in the paper, including 7 times in the section titled, you guessed it, “MARKET MECHANISMS AS FORECASTING TOOLS“.
And here’s a crucial sentence I found out in the abstract:
The process enables product and market experts to dynamically negotiate product forecasts in an environment offering anonymity and performance-based incentives.
Does negotiation mean trading here? My first reading was “yes”, but I wonder what it means in light of the comment made by market design expert Chris Hibbert.
