🚨🚨New Paper Alert🚨🚨
We embed a within-subject experiment with two lying paradigms in the 2020 German Socio-Economic Panel.
The difference between paradigms? *Observability* 🔍
In one, we know if you lied to win more money; in the other, we do not.

📢 Our belief elicitation tool is now available for oTree and Qualtrics! 🎉
It lets you elicit parametric belief distributions with just two sliders.
👉 Try it out or download here: tmeissner.com/tools
Big thanks to my coauthors @pgonzalezfernandez.bsky.social and @boschrosa.bsky.social

Not yet as far as I am aware. We focus on the comparison with the bins method - the most commonly used method to elicit inflation belief distributions. But I totally agree that it would be cool to have a systematic comparison of all the new (and old) methods.
Happy to be added to the list 😊
Thanks for creating this! I’d be happy to be added to the list.
Excellent news, congrats 🎉
So did you fall fall for the intuitive but wrong answer? 😉
I would say 1.5kg? For the second the truck is that the boat rises with the water … quite clever
So I asked ChatGPTo1 to create 3 new Cognitive Reflection Test questions - absolutely impressed with the first two! Third is meh, but overall amazing. Earlier models were quite bad a this, just rephrasing the original questions. Awesome progress.
I have added a number of posters to the behavioural economics starter pack. Please let me know if you want to be added too.

Okay, Not sure what is happening with all the new followers, but here is a cool new paper 🚨
We propose a new method to elicit full belief distributions with a simple tool using only two sliders. It works really well compared to standard methods to measure inflation beliefs.
