I have not finished the PhD yet, but I am doing my dissertation in political science on how to predict election results, with prediction markets as my main focus. I have done an experiment in relation to the 2009 Norwegian national parliamentary election , where I among other things look at how well active party members -using prediction market- predict their own result(!). I have also compared polls and market predictions for the US presidential elections 2004 and 2008, studying whether or not the two barometers tell the same "stories" about the election campaigns.
I use this opportunity to say that if there are other political scientists out there with an interest in prediction market, please contact me :) I can be reached at sveinung.arnesen at isp.uib.no
Kind regards,
