3. FAME PROJECT IS A REAL-MONEY PREDICTION
MARKET FOR POPULAR CULTURE EVENTS AND
NEWS.

4. USERS MAKE PREDICTIONS WITH REAL MONEY
ON MEDIA EVENTS LIKE THE OSCARS, AMERICAN
IDOL AND NFL DRAFT, AND CELEBRITY NEWS
LIKE KIRK COUSINS RE-SIGNING WITH THE
WASHINGTON REDSKINS AND HARVEY
WEINSTEIN’S POTENTIAL ARREST DATE.

5. EACH CONTRACT ON THE MARKET IS AN
EXPERIMENT ABOUT HOW PEOPLE THINK
ABOUT THE EVENT BEING TRADED ON.

6. FOR INSTANCE, IF THE CONTRACT IS
ABOUT BRAD PITT’S RETIREMENT IT CAN
HELP RESEARCHERS UNDERSTAND
PEOPLE'S THOUGHTS ON RETIREMENT.
THEY MIGHT HAVE HYPOTHESES ABOUT
THE PUBLIC’S PERCEPTION OF THE “RIGHT
AGE” TO RETIRE, WHETHER THAT MAY BE
INFLUENCED BY MARITAL STATUS OR
GENDER, OR JUST WHETHER THE PUBLIC
THINKS BRAD PITT SHOULD STILL BE
ACTING.

7. BECAUSE TRADERS DON’T WANT TO MISS OUT
ON OPPORTUNITIES TO PROFIT, REACTIONS TO
NEWS EVENTS HAPPEN VERY QUICKLY .

8. SO WE CAN ASSOCIATE PRICE MOVES WITH
SENTIMENT ABOUT THOSE NEWS EVENTS,
PROVIDING VALUABLE REAL-TIME DATA FEEDS.

9. OUR MISSION IS TO PROVIDE MUCH NEEDED
DATA AND FUNDING FOR SOCIAL SCIENTISTS TO
STUDY THE PUBLIC’S PERCEPTION OF, AND
ENGAGEMENT IN, POPULAR CULTURE EVENTS
AND NEWS.
