Flexible Approximation of Subjective ExpectationsUsing Probability Questions:An Application to the Investment Game

We use spline interpolation to approximate the subjective cumulative distribution function ofan economic agent over the future realization of a continuous (possibly censored) randomvariable. The method proposed exploits information collected using a small number ofprobability questions on expectations and requires a weak prior knowledge of the shape ofthe underlying distribution...
