Subjective beliefs play a role in many economic decisions. There is a large theoretical literature on the elicitation … of beliefs, and an equally large empirical literature. However, there is a gulf between the two. The theoretical … literature proposes a range of procedures that can be used to recover beliefs, but stresses the need to make strong auxiliary …

This allows the observer to make inferences about the latent subjective probability … which we elicit subjective probabilities. We calibrate the estimates of subjective beliefs assuming that choices are made …

Understanding choice under risk requires knowledge of beliefs and preferences. A variety of methods have been proposed … to elicit peoples’ beliefs. The efficacy of alternative methods, however, has not been rigorously documented. Herein we … use an experiment to test whether an induced probability can be recovered using an elicitation mechanism based on peoples …
