3 prediction markets price this story:

  • India — the market puts it at 16%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if a confirmed human case of Ebola disease in India is officially reported after issuance and before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the linked news story about sexual violence protests as relevant, but only Ebola cases count.
  • India — the market puts it at 1%, with $13 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Dec 2027. The market resolves to Yes if India records two consecutive quarters of negative real GDP growth between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2026. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the linked news story about opposition parties for the actual resolution criteria.
  • By 2030 — the market puts it at 62%, with $144 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Dec 2031. The market resolves to Yes if India cuts the carbon emissions per unit of its GDP by at least 45% compared to 2005 levels by the year 2030. It resolves to No if that specific reduction target is not met within the deadline. Readers often mistake this for a total emissions cap rather than an intensity metric relative to economic output.
