> (Italy) have decided to create electronic markets, following the
> model of the Iowa Electronic Markets (and in association with members
> of the Henry Tippie College of Business, University of Iowa).
> This new market is based on the next political elections in Italy
> (scheduled for Spring 2001).
> The Italian Electoral Markets opened for trading on the
> 1st of February 2001.
>
> Participants are able to buy and sell assets within a real
> market in which they can invest from 5 to 100 Euros. The
> registration gives right to a portfolio of assets representative of
> the parties or coalitions running in the election. This initial
> endowment can be then modified by buying and selling assets. The
> final value of the assets is computed on the basis of the proportion
> of the votes reported by the various parties/coalitions.
>
> For further information on the Italian Electoral Markets,
> and to access the markets, you can go to the AL.EX site:

> Note please that the market and the information are in Italian.

> We thank you for your attention and invite you to participate in the
> experiment.
