Speaker: Rick Whitener

A prediction market is where individuals trade contracts based on the outcomes of unknown future events such as election results or sports competitions. The earliest US market is the Iowa Eletronis Market which has been run by the Univeristy of Iowa as an education tool since 1988. This talk will outline areas where these markets have proved to be useful and areas where problems have been created.


Rick Whitener has a BA in Economics from Davidson College. He is a former banker and IT consultant.
