Why blog?

December 3rd, 2006

There is a lot of information out there on prediction markets, including technical discussion groups and blogs, but without a background in the field it can all be somewhat overwhelming. I will provide a particular view on the topic that will hopefully serve a number of readers’ interests.

This blog is run by Jed Christiansen, the MD of Mercury Research and Consulting, and serves not only clients, but other businesses and individuals that are looking to implement prediction markets in their organisation. I will be examining current topics in prediction markets, general theory, and other areas; all from the specific perspective of practical application for business use. While of course I would love to have all of my readers as clients, I really want to improve the quality of the predictions/forecasts for anyone using these tools. Markets, if run well, can be very powerful solutions to difficult business problems. I want to help you improve your business.
