Project Description

Summary: This file provides code to replicate figures from the paper using publicly available data from four papers, where each of these papers provides experimental data useful for examining the behavioral compatibility of common elicitation incentives:

Theo Offerman, Joep Sonnemans, Gijs Van De Kuilen, Peter P. Wakker, "A Truth Serum for Non-Bayesians: Correcting Proper Scoring Rules for Risk Attitudes," Review of Economic Studies, Volume 76, Issue 4, October 2009, Pages 1461–1489 (https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-937X.2009.00557.x)
Tanjim Hossain, Ryo Okui, "The Binarized Scoring Rule," Review of Economic Studies, Volume 80, Issue 3, July 2013, Pages 984–1001 (https://doi.org/10.1093/restud/rdt006)
Nisvan Erkal, Lata Gangadharan, Boon Han Koh, "Replication: Belief elicitation with quadratic and binarized scoring rules," Journal of Economic Psychology, Volume 81, 2020 (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joep.2020.102315)
David Danz, Lise Vesterlund, and Alistair J. Wilson. 2022. "Belief Elicitation and Behavioral Incentive Compatibility." American Economic Review, 112 (9): 2851–83. (https://doi.org/10.1257/aer.20201248, replication package: https://doi.org/10.3886/E157161V1)

The replication package requires the replicator to download four zip archives from the Journal pages/OpenICPSR, and guides the assembly of a meta-study dataset, from which the paper's five figures are constructed.
