我们引入了选择匹配，这是一种在市场研究、民意调查或经济学实验中可能出现的多项选择问题(McQ)引发诚实回答的机制。在选择匹配下，受访者通过辅助任务获得补偿，例如个人消费选择或预测。他们的报酬既取决于他们在辅助任务上的表现，也取决于那些与他们的回答相匹配的受访者的表现。我们给出了这种机制严格诱导真值的条件，重点讨论了一种特殊情况，在这种情况下，辅助任务是预测其他受访者的答案。
We introduce choice-matching, a class of mechanisms for eliciting honest responses to a multiple choice question (MCQ), as might appear in a market research study, opinion poll, or economics experiment. Under choice-matching, respondents are compensated through an auxiliary task, e.g., a personal consumption choice or a forecast. Their compensation depends both on their performance on the auxiliary task, and on the performance of those respondents who matched their response to the MCQ. We give conditions for such mechanisms to be strictly truth-inducing, focusing on a special case in which the auxiliary task is to predict the answers of other respondents.
