DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Doctors\, lawyers\, priests\, teachers\,
politicians\,
fundmanagers\, researchers\, and
more - how can we get experts to serve
us?We h
ave fivemain ways: pay for results\, require proce
dures\, or
pick based on track records\,prestig
e\, or loyalty. Picking onprestige
is most comm
on. But paying forresults seems most robust\, thou
gh for
cash-paid experts it requires that custo
mersprevent expert coordination\,
or wait long
to pay. For experts who forecast\,paying for resul
ts can
often be achieved viaprediction markets\
, which havegreat untapped
potential.
