Iowa Electronic Markets
The Iowa Electronic Markets (IEM) are Web-based political futures markets
where traders use real money to speculate on outcomes of presidential and
congressional elections. The IEM has been forecasting election outcomes
accurately since its inception in 1988. The markets are open to the public,
and anyone can buy contracts in a candidate of their choice. Winning
contracts pay $1; losing contracts pay nothing. The IEM was originally
developed by professors in the University of Iowa' Tippie College of
Business as a way to teach students the intricacies of the commodities
futures markets and permit detailed studies of how futures markets operate. |
