This is really too bad, but on February 24th, the UBC Election Stock Market for the BC 2009 election was canceled.
We regret to inform all interested participants that the Election Stock Market for the 2009 British Columbia Provincial Election and Electoral Reform Referendum on Tuesday, May 12, 2009, has been cancelled. Significant demands on Professor Antweiler’s time due to his extensive set of teaching duties during March and April, as well as co-organizing a major academic conferencee in May, make it impossible for him to operate, monitor, and administer the UBC-ESM.

The ESM was a very good indication of participants’ views on the outcome of the election. It’s too bad that Werner Antweiler could not outsource the operation or otherwise streamline the time it took the operate the market.
