Hey #econsky!

If you were to play a Prisoner's Dilemma with me, would you defect or cooperate?

To be honest, I don't know you will do... but our new paper (with @esteelu.bsky.social and H.Normann) suggests that an LLM might πŸ˜‰

I'm not sure how common the practice is, but I do remember once receiving a 2-euro coin in an envelope to complete an Austrian demographic survey. To be fair, I did end up filling out a questionnaire I would have otherwise always ignored.

🚨 New Paper Drop!

How do economic agents gather data when they know they’ll face institutional constraints?
We study how regulation shapes experiments, evidence & information flows.

A bit of theory, a lot of real-world relevance.

In my recent paper "Belief Bias Identification" I build a theoretical model to separately identify a notable set of belief updating biases. To test this model in the lab, I use this tool to measure belief distributions. What do I find? What biases come out on top? πŸ€”

@boschrosa.bsky.social, @thomasmeissner.bsky.social and I have just made our parametric belief elicitation available to everyone! πŸŽ‰

In our paper we used this tool to elicit inflation expectations but... did you know you could also use it for lab experiments? πŸ”΄πŸ”΅

πŸ“’ Our belief elicitation tool is now available for oTree and Qualtrics! πŸŽ‰

It lets you elicit parametric belief distributions with just two sliders.

πŸ‘‰ Try it out or download here: tmeissner.com/tools

Big thanks to my coauthors @pgonzalezfernandez.bsky.social and @boschrosa.bsky.social
