Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Using data from the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada (LSIC), this study examines the incidence of remitting and the amounts remitted by recent immigrants. The study is based on a sample of almost 7,500 respondents that is representative of the immigrants who arrived in Canada during 2000-2001. Remittance activities are observed two and four years after arrival. The study confirms many of the characteristics found in the literature to be correlated with remittance activities, such as household income and the presence of children. The importance of other factors, such organizational participation, place of birth, and refugee status are also documented. We also find that after controlling for a wide range of characteristics, substantial cross-national variations in remittance activities are evident.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
