The promise of Mechanical Turk: how online labor markets can help theorists run behavioral experiments. (2012, background): “A solution is to add additional incentives, such that subjects are paid extra if their reported beliefs are correct (Blanco et al., 2010; Croson, 2000; G ¨ achter and Renner, 2010; Prelec, 2004).”
A penny for your thoughts: a survey of methods for eliciting beliefs (2014, neutral): “Another tentative pattern is that the relationship between beliefs and actions is stronger when incentives are used (Trautmann and van de Kuilen, 2011; G¨achter and Renner, 2010).”
On doing relevant and rigorous experiments: Review and recommendations (2018, background): “…elicit not only participants’ behaviors, but also their beliefs about the behavior of other participants, incentivizing beliefs does not only increase belief accuracy, but may—depending on the situation—also distort actual behavior (Blanco, Engelmann, Koch, & Normann, 2010; Gächter & Renner, 2010).”
Would I lie to you? On social preferences and lying aversion (2009, background): “Gachter and Renner (2006) suggest that paying subjects for accuracy may lead to more accurate reporting but not necessarily to better average predictions.”
