More Than a Game: The Economic Promise of Prediction Markets

Prediction markets offer important and innovative policy and economic uses that go far beyond sports. These markets turn dispersed knowledge into real-time signals about what's likely to happen, and that information has real economic and policy value. They could give small businesses new tools for managing risk, and help young Americans make better-informed career choices in an uncertain economy.

Please join us for a discussion with leading experts on the practical, real-world uses of prediction markets across a wide range of areas, and on the smart guardrails needed so they serve consumers, workers, and the broader economy.
