Its basic idea is to bring a group of participants together via the Internet and let them trade shares of virtual stocks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These stocks represent a bet on the outcome of future market situations and their value depends on the realization of these market situations. Once the outcome of a specific market situation is known, each share of virtual stock receives a cash dividend (payoff) according to that specific market outcome (e.g., $1 for each unit sold).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this process, a virtual stock market elicits and aggregates the assessments of its participants concerning future market developments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With a subject as complex and information driven as the stock market this allows the students to learn in a hands-on way. Classes at universities are also being structured around using the &lt;a href="http://stock.mitanshu.com/"&gt;Virtual Stock Market&lt;/a&gt; games.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1652869957600611794-1092020860415667921?l=virtual-stock-market.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://virtual-stock-market.blogspot.com/2007/10/basic-idea-of-virtual-stock-markets.html</link><author>mitanshu.garg@gmail.com (mitanshu)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1652869957600611794.post-1978464136686017363</guid><pubDate>Tue, 16 Oct 2007 12:40:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-16T09:37:06.633-07:00</atom:updated><title>Welcome to Virtual Stock Market Blog</title><description>Online Virtual Stock Market game will complete its 14 months tomorrow and finally, here's a blog to go with it (better late than never!)
