Abstract: Doctors, lawyers, priests, teachers, politicians,
fundmanagers, researchers, and more – how can we get experts to serve
us?We have fivemain ways: pay for results, require procedures, or
pick based on track records,prestige, or loyalty. Picking onprestige
is most common. But paying forresults seems most robust, though for
cash-paid experts it requires that customersprevent expert coordination,
or wait long to pay. For experts who forecast,paying for results can
often be achieved viaprediction markets, which havegreat untapped
potential.
