dc.description.abstractThis chapter has the goal of advocating for the Quadratic Scoring Rule as the indispensable tool in the operationalization of one of the most popular concepts of social norms in the literature. Section 1 reviews the concept of social norms developed by Bicchieri (2006, 2017) and argues that this theory offers an operational definition of social norms which focuses on beliefs (expectations) and preferences and allows for the possibility of their empirical investigation. Section 2 introduces the well-known Intentional Stance and Revealed Preference Theory as the best interpretive framework for the intentional concepts applied in Bicchieri’s conceptual analysis of social norms. On the basis of limitations arising from experimental work operating Bicchieri’s theory, section 3 introduces and defends the Quadratic Scoring Rule (QSR) for eliciting subjective belief distributions. Three different types of arguments are given to support the suitability of this method in the measuring of social norms.en
