Great question. https://gnosis.pm and https://augur.net are building decentralized prediction markets on the Ethereum blockchain. Their goal is to “match the global liquidity pool to the global knowledge pool.”
I’ve asked them how they’re thinking about hedgehogs to form a collective fox-y model (and then segmenting the data by hedgehog type).
But yeah, I think they will allow you to do what you want above: “Questions of the form: if intervention Y occurs what is the expected magnitude of outcome Z.”
I like both of them, but I’m wondering: why wait so long? Isn’t there a way some group (maybe us) could build 10% of the kind of prediction market that gets us 90% of what we actually need? I need to think about this more, but waiting for Gnosis and Augur to mature seems risky. Unless de-risking that bet means joining both projects to accelerate their advent.
