Title: Axiomatic Characterization of the Quadratic Scoring Rule
Author-Name: Selten, Reinhard
Classification-JEL:C4
Keywords: Scoring Rules, Descriptive Statistics
Abstract:  In the evaluation of experiments often the problem arises how to compare the predictive success of
	competing probabilistic theories. The quadratic soring rule can be used for this purpose. Originally this rule has
	been proposed as an incentive compatible elicitation method for probabilistic expert judgements. It is shown
	that up to a positive linear transformation, the quadratic scoring rule is characterized by five desirable
	properties.
