hyperlinks as bets: pagerank as artificial market

When page X links to Y, then the pagerank of X goes up (down) if the pagerank of Y goes up (down).
 
Would such a thing make sense?
 
Is it prone to spamming?
 
What sort of formula would you use for this modified pagerank computation?

I didn't see first that it is the reverse of the usual relationship.  The linking page gets the reputation of the linked page.
 
That would be too easy, wouldn't it?  Make random searches, save the highest-ranking result and link to these.  That would boost your ranking.

The usual PR of a page U sums over all the links to U (back-links).  
 
In this modified version, the sum would be over all the pages U links to (forward-links).

But it looks at CHANGES in (modified?) pagerank.  The question is whether all such approaches are easy to spam.
