A mechanism for the elicitation of second-order belief and subjective information structure

This paper describes a direct revelation mechanism for eliciting (a) decision makers’ range of subjective priors under Knightian uncertainty and their second-order introspective belief and (b) Bayesian decision makers’ range of posteriors and their subjective information structure.
