Primary Outcomes (Explanation) I will use both point-based accuracy measures and rank-based accuracy measures. The accuracy of individual forecasters will be compared to the accuracy of crowds of forecasters.
Planned Number of Observations A minimum of 2,000 forecasts will be collected. A minimum of 1,500 forecasts will be collected.
Intervention (Hidden) Each study participant provides point predictions of the causal effects of interventions measured in randomized experiments. Participants will be randomized to one of four conditions in a 2x2 design: Elicitation format: Participants will enter their predictions using (a) a slider scale, or (b) through numeric text entry. Incentives: Participants will be randomly assigned to receive financial incentives based on the accuracy of their predictions. Each study participant provides point predictions of the causal effects of interventions measured in randomized experiments. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two conditions: Incentive group: Participants will be randomly assigned to receive financial incentives based on the accuracy of their predictions. Control group: Participants will not receive any accuracy-based incentives.
