Peer-Review Prediction Market

[Marko Rodriguez]

Hello everyone.

I thought people on this mailing list would be interested in  
participating in an online experiment involving (play) money,  
markets, leader boards, and the peer-review process.

The Collective Decision Making Systems project at Los Alamos is  
running a Prediction Market to study whether or not markets are a  
viable medium to do journal/conference peer-review. Currently, we  
have 3 different markets running with each having three stocks:  
"accept", "accept with modifications", and "reject". Each participant  
starts with $5,000 (play money) and the leader at the end of the  
study will get an acknowledgment in the studies publication (** I  
know..but thats all we can do.)

If you are interested in participating, please go to:

Also, if you have a paper going in or is currently in peer-review and  
would like to see if a market can predict its outcome, please contact  
me so we can create a marketplace for it.

Thanks for your time,
Take care,

Mr. Rodriguez:

I would like to talk to you about another idea related to the prediction
market tools.  Might there be a best time and number to give you a call?

All the best,
