Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The degree of competition that a rm faces affects its ability to commit to goodbehavior. However, the relationship need not be monotonic since competition affectsthe pro ts when committed to good behavior (such as efficient high quality) and badbehavior as well as the short-term profits from "cheating". We demonstrate that asa result competition (using two different measures of competition which show qualitatively similar effects) might have non-monotonic effects on a rm s ability to commit. In particular, a firm might choose to operate in a more competitive environment.

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.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
