Do you see a sixth dimension to the prediction markets?

Midas Oracle is about the event derivative markets and:

  1. their profit opportunities (sought by the traders);
  2. their predictive power (investigated by the economists);
  3. their entertainment ability (delivered by the play-money prediction markets);
  4. their hedging utility (employed by the risk managers and monitored by the CFTC);
  5. their decision-making capacity (alleged by Robin Hanson).

their training / motivational ability (corporations like their employees to be engaged and knowledgeable about key metrics – PMs reward this process)

  2. Good point. I am interested to see if Mike Giberson or any other commenter goes along with that. I do, I think.
