Asset price expectations during the financial crash of the Covid-19 pandemic

We measure daily price expectations about the share prices of six well-known publicly traded companies in the U.S. in an incentivized online experiment for a period of three months. Coincidentally, our experiment started on 19/02/2020, just one day before the start of the stock market crash triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic. Our experiment will provide unique data which may help our understanding of how expectations are formed and adapt during periods of extreme volatility.
