Prediction markets are based on advanced academic research and solid business experience. Our academic advisory board provides a forum where researchers from top ranked universities and institutes - such as the Stockholm University, the Stockholm School of Economics and the Royal Institute of Technology - can meet and discuss the practical implementations of leading edge research.

Dr Torbjörn Thedeen,

In Memorian
Dr Peter Bohm,
Professor Emeritus, Department of Economics, Stockholm University
Dr Bohm's research centered on public economics, welfare economics, international environmental policy, and experimental economics. He recurrently used experimental methods to test predictions in economic theory and to evaluate policy proposals. To predict the outcome of the 1994 referendum whether Sweden should join the EU, Dr Bohm used a Political Stock Market that proved to be significantly more accurate than the polls.
