Using Prediction Markets to Track Information Flows: Evidence From
Google," that uses prediction markets to show how
organizations process information and respond to external events.
Here are some interesting findings:

    Traders in the same location tend to make the same trades at
    the same time.
    The trades of cubemates within a small radius is
    the best predictor we found. By using a record of historical office
    changes, we could observe that the correlation begins shortly after
    people are seated nearby. It makes sense, because the physical
    proximity enables easy communication. As Eric Schmidt (our CEO) and
    Hal Varian (now our Chief Economist) href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10296177/site/newsweek/print/1/displaymode/1098/"
    id="ha2h" >advised in 2005: "The best way to make
    communication easy is to put team members within a few feet of each
    other. No telephone tag, no e-mail delay, no waiting for a
    reply." As you can see below, our finding about the importance
    of proximity holds, even once we account for many other
    factors.

      Although we did find strong correlations among professional
      and social contacts, these were substantially weaker than the
      correlations for micro-geography
      . We also measured the
      influence that people on similar projects, in similar places in the
      organization and with similar demographic characteristics exert on
      each other. This helped establish that geographic proximity — and
      not some other type of similarity — was responsible for the
      correlations we saw.

      Despite the markets' href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/09/putting-crowd-wisdom-to-work.html"
      >strong forecasting abilities, there is a
      slight optimistic bias driven mainly by new employees
      . On
      average, outcomes that were good for Google were overpriced by 20%.
      This bias was strongest on days after appreciations in href="http://finance.google.com/finance?client=ob&q=GOOG"
      >Google stock and, ironically, for outcomes
      under our own control! We also find biases against extreme outcomes
      and >short selling. Given a range of five outcomes,
      the middle ones were typically overpriced and unprofitable by
      comparison with the outliers.

      Although the proof is in the paper, nothing quite helps like a
      graphic. Below you can see a snapshot of trading in one of our
      offices. The areas where employees are making profitable decisions
      is green, and the areas where employees are making unprofitable
      decisions is red. There are about 16 profitable traders in that big
      green blotch in the middle!
