Robin Hanson (mister “Track Records”), take notice.
No blog reaction about Justin Wolfers’ prediction market piece in the WSJ.
Yet.
That’s key to see whether his flavor of prediction market journalism (heavily based on a single technique called prediction market event study) can take off. As I said in yesterday’s blog post, even though his work is interesting, he is up against formidable competitors. Political analysts like Lawrence O’Donnell, Eleanor Clift, Mort Zuckerman, Pat Buchanan, [...]
Separating cheap talk from truly held beliefs
—
In his book, Plight of the Fortune Tellers, Riccardo Rebonato describes how an invitation to bet can be used to separate cheap talk from truly held beliefs (and, in the process, ruin an otherwise engaging dinner conversation).
In the early to mid 1990s in the United Kingdom and in other European countries a widespread fear developed [...]
Could Pat Buchanan’s socio-economic ramblings lead to the creation of socially interesting, long-term prediction markets?
Economist Michael Giberson:
It would be a real public service to run well-conceived prediction markets based on the grandiose political pronouncements of the ‘chattering classes.’ Get the book author to cooperate in specifying a handful of significant, meaningful, testable claims that are discussed in the book. Get the publisher to subsidize the market maker (on the [...]

Drudge Report:
Pax Americana, the era of U.S. global dominance, is over. A struggle for global hegemony has begun among the United States, China, a resurgent Russia and radical Islam.
Bush’s invasion of Iraq was a product of hubris and of ideology, a secular religion of democratism, to which Bush was converted in the days following [...]

Who Was Right –Rudy Giuliani or Ron Paul?
Pat Buchanan:
[...] Lest we forget, Osama bin Laden was among the mujahideen whom we, in the Reagan decade, were aiding when they were fighting to expel the Red Army from Afghanistan. We sent them Stinger missiles, Spanish mortars, sniper rifles. And they helped drive the Russians out. What Ron Paul was addressing was the question [...]

The two-sentence excerpt run by NBC News (Brian Williams – Thursday, May 17, 2007):
They attack us because we’ve been over there. We’ve been bombing Iraq for 10 years.
