Subjective Probabilities and Scoring Rules: Experimental Evidence
阐述评分规则理论,提出不当规则下策略行为的可检验假设。实验室中筛选线性效用被试,进行概率预测实验,结果支持理论,但新手初期可能未利用占优策略。
Abstract This paper provides an articulation of the theory of scoring rules that leads to a testable hypothesis about strategic behavior under an improper rule. Subjects in a laboratory setting were first screened for linear utility in the range of rewards. Those that passed this test were used as subjects in a probability forecasting experiment. Results suggest that theory holds when subjects forecast over many periods, although inexperienced subjects may fail to exploit the dominant strategy in the initial periods.
