Experimental Details

Interventions

Intervention(s)
Intervention (Hidden)
For each market, we will first randomly determine (with equal probabilities) whether we will bet on `Yes' or bet on `No'. When making a yes bet, we will buy however many yes shares are necessary to increase the price by 4 percentage points. When making a no bet, we will buy however many no shares are necessary to decrease the price by 4 percentage points. Note that, although the instantaneous effect of the intervention is obvious, our main interest is in estimating the persistence of the effect on prices.
