Distribution Builder Vs. Slider Scales: What Is the Best Way to Elicit Belief Distributions?

We find that Distribution Builder usually elicits more accurate belief distributions, at least partially because SPIES users tend to complete the task “in order,” causing them to exhibit predictable response biases.
