  Bluffing and Strategic Reticence in Prediction Markets
  with Yiling Chen , Daniel M. Reeves, David M. Pennock, Robin D. Hanson and L. Fortnow
  In a prediction market using a logarithmic market scoring rule market maker, there exist joint probability distributions on signals such that agents have an incentive to bid against their own information---strategically misleading other agents in order to later correct the price. The dynamic parimutuel market suffers from another problem: even with uncorrelated signals, agents may have an incentive to withhold information if they believe others may have better signals later.
