Applying Quadratic Scoring Rule transparently in multiple choice settings: A note Volume 4 Jena Economic Research Papers 2010-03-24 2010 2007 2010-021 Quadratic scoring rule experimental methodology experimental design The quadratic scoring rule (QSR) is often used to guarantee an incentive compatible elicitation of subjective probabilities over events. Experimentalists have regularly not been able to ensure that subjects fully comprehend the consequences of their actions on payoffs given the rules of the games. In this note, we present a procedure that allows the transparent use of the QSR even in multiple-choice scenarios. For that purpose, two methodological means are applied: an alternative representation of the score and a short learning period to familiarize subjects with the payoff mechanism. The results suggest that both means were necessary and successful in facilitating subjects' understanding of the rule. jportal_jpjournal_00000016 2010-03-26T13:36:37.877Z 2010-12-17T11:54:18.392Z
