TLDR

I have to choose 6 econ courses during my undergrad. Bet on which ones, in retrospect, I'll think I should have chosen. I'll resolve those 6 to Yes and the rest to No.

About the Market

I'm doing my undergrad in economics right now. I have to take six electives in economics. I have finished 3 semesters and have 3 more to go. I can distribute the electives between the semesters whatever way I want. All courses are 6 months, most end with an exam.

This market will resolve one year after I've finished my degree. One year after I have my degree, I will resolve the market to the 6 electives that I think I should have taken during my degree.

About me:

  • I won't tell you what specific courses I find interesting, or you'd all just bet on those.

  • You probably know most relevant information about me just because I made this market.

  • I like Less Wrong, am an EA, and am pretty interested in doing good with my career, but I'm not sure yet in which way.

  • You can ask me questions.

 

Resolution details

I will take everything into consideration, such as difficulty, topic, relevance, quality of professor, etc. I will not resolve to the 6 electives that I think would have been best for me individually, but to the 6 that, in combination, would have been best for me.

E.g., I might think the best 6 courses are all micro courses, but I'd rather see a couple of different areas, so I could think that overall 2 micro, 1 stats, 1 macro, and 2 finance would be the best combination.

 

If I'm unsure about two courses, I might resolve both to 50%, or one to 20% and one to 80%. The important thing is that, overall, all probability will add up to 600%.

I probably added all available courses, but if I forgot one or if a new course is offered, I'll add it to the market.

 

Sometimes a course isn't offered; I will ignore this. E.g., if I want to take environmental economics during my sixth semester but it isn't offered for some reason, I might still resolve in favor of environmental economics.

 

Obviously I won't just resolve to the 6 courses I end up taking.
