What distorts the probabilities of markets the most?
23
resolved Apr 1
Far future markets are opinion-based absent close resolution date
Discount rate (people are discouraged to trade far future markets)
League rewards (temporary pumping "your" markets to get them)
Risk of N/A (discourages arbitrages, can be author-dependent)
Other (please specify)

Which of the effects is the strongest?

  1. League Rewards: Do temporary incentives to move probability in your markets, pumping "your" markets to win league rewards, significantly skew probabilities?

  2. Risk of N/A Outcomes: Does the potential for a market to be declared N/A (where some authors are more likely to do so) discourage meaningful arbitrage and distort prices?

  3. Discount Rate for Time: People are less willing to engage in far future markets due to the time value of money, thereby distorting long-term market probabilities. Is this very significant, or do loans sufficiently surpress it?

  4. Speculative Nature of Far Future Markets: Are markets resolving in the far future more based on opinion than information, especially absent a close resolution date, leading to skewed probabilities?
