The experiment run by Plott & Sunder in 1998 is one of several experiments which paved the way to future research in the field on Information Markets. The experiment was intended to explore the performance of markets as ''[[:category:Aggregate information|information aggregation]]'' mechanisms. The markets were set up in a ''[[:category:Laboratory|laboratory]]'' setting and traded ''[[:Category:Synthetic events|synthetic events]]''. The markets were ''[[:category:Small size markets|small]]'', involving 4-12 traders, and were conducted in several ''[[:Category:Short duration|short]]'' periods. The marketplace employed an oral ''[[:Category:Continuous Double Auction (CDA)|double auction]]'' mechanism, and operated with ''[[:Category:Real-money|real-money]]''. The initial endowment to traders was in the form of ''[[:Category:Initial capital endowment|capital]]'' and ''[[:Category:Initial securities endowment|securities ]]'', and the final dividends were calculated based on the ''[[:Category:Winner-takes-all securities|winner-takes-all securities]]'' and [[:Category:Index securities|Index securities]] models. There was ''[[:Category:No interaction|no interaction]]'' between participants. | The experiment run by Plott & Sunder in 1998 is one of several experiments which paved the way to future research in the field on Information Markets.

| + | == How To Speak More Wisely == | ||
| + | |||
| + | It had been three weeks since my throat started to feel sore, and it wasnt getting better. The pain was most acute when I spoke. So I decided to spend a few days speaking as little as possible. Every time I had the urge to say something, I paused for a moment to question whether it was worth irritating my throat. | ||

| + | |||
| + | After living through an experimental cancer treatment my sister Barb was left unable to work. When she was offered the opportunity to do a mission trip in India if she could come up with $3,000 - she was left thinking there was no way she could go. No way to raise the funds. She asked me to brainstorm with her as to ways she could raise money. "The only thing I can do is hug," she told me - and thus her adventure began. | ||
