An Experimental Test of Combinatorial Information Markets
While a simple information market lets one trade on the probability of each value of a single variable, a combinatorial information market lets one trade on any combination of a set of variables, including any conditional or joint probability. In laboratory experiments, we compare the accuracy of simple markets, two kinds of combinatorial markets, a call market and a market maker, isolated indi...
متن کاملCombinatorial Prediction Markets: An Experimental Study
Prediction markets produce crowdsourced probabilistic forecasts through a market mechanism in which forecasters buy and sell securities that pay off when events occur. Prices in a prediction market can be interpreted as consensus probabilities for the corresponding events. There is strong empirical evidence that aggregate forecasts tend to be more accurate than individual forecasts, and that pr...
متن کاملAn Experimental study of Information Markets
In this paper we experimentally compare the welfare efficiency of ‘information markets’ – markets where consumer information can be traded, to markets where no trade in information take place. Consumers face a loss in privacy when revealing personal information and take this loss into account before deciding to trade their information. The experimental setting allows us to set up agent incentiv...
متن کاملPrivacy and Information Markets: An Experimental Study
In this paper we create an experimental ‘information market’ where consumers can trade in potentially useful personal information. We study how a market where trade in information takes place compares experimentally with a market where there is no trade in information. We test the impact of trading in information and the impact of stricter privacy laws on consumers and sellers, and also the imp...
متن کاملAn Experimental Test of Flexible Combinatorial Spectrum Auction Formats
This paper reports laboratory experiments that evaluate the performance of a flexible packagebidding format developed by the FCC, in comparison with other combinatorial formats. In general, the interest of policy makers in combinatorial auctions is justified by the laboratory data; when value complementarities are present, package bidding yields improved performance. We find clear differences a...
