29. 29 Potential corporate applications More complex securities –Security pays $1 for each additional percentage point in vote. Market price reflects expected proportion of votes earned. –Security pays according to square of percentage vote. Allows to calculate market’s confidence in estimated proportion of votes earned. –Pay $1 if percentage vote is exactly x, y, z…. –What if a contract is contingent on another event (e.g. contract on oil price if Saddam is in power vs. one contingent on the opposite. Difference tells effect of Saddam’s ousting on oil prices.) Prediction markets in the enterprise –Variety of contexts (scheduling, product success, technology trends) –Examples: HP, Intel, Siemens, Google, Eli Lilly, Arcelor… –Information generated is confidential so more incentive to create the market. –Will traditional market research disappear then?
