More on Decision Markets—A decision market (also known as a prediction, information, or idea market) is a speculative market designed to make predictions on the outcome of a particular event. It is like a stock market where people buy and sell shares of ideas instead of companies. The market harnesses the wisdom of the crowd by aggregating the knowledge of its players—development practitioners, academics, and professionals—and representing it as a single share price. When taken together, this information can provide a powerful indication of the quality of an idea. Additionally, the market is a virtual meeting and learning space—an intersection of sorts. Within the market participants can post and receive feedback on their ideas from a global community of organizations and practitioners. They can find solutions to their challenges, identify proven tools and approaches that can be replicated, or suggest how others might improve their work.
