The Iowa Electronic Markets, or IEM, are a group of real-money prediction markets/futures markets operated by the University of Iowa Tippie College of Business.

The IEM allows traders to buy and sell contracts based on, among other things, political election results and economic indicators.
Some markets are only available to academic traders.
