Lang (2013) presents a semester-long exercise in which students learn about future markets.

 

For this exercise, students must build a portfolio of movies, not yet released from a list predetermined by the instructor. Students must predict Box Office scores to build portfolios, must respect a budget, and can buy or sell movies throughout the semester. 

​

Beyond the performance of the portfolio, students are also evaluated based on a 10-page group report explaining transactions and reasoning behind them. The report allows evaluating the learning and reduces the chance of students scoring high as a result of being lucky.
