Abstract
Given the wide swings in the exchange value of the Canadian dollar over the past decade, some would like to see a return to a fixed exchange rate system in North America. In reviewing the debate between supporters of pegged versus floating rates, there is little analysis found of the implications that these alternative currency arrangements could have on effective demand along Keynesian lines. Interestingly, not only is this latter issue completely ignored, as among neoclassical economists, but even among Post Keynesian economists, there is little focused analysis of the implications of the choice of exchange rate regime on domestic effective demand. After a brief theoretical analysis of the role that floating versus pegged exchange rates would have on the ability of a domestic economy to amortize negative international shocks, the paper suggests that a floating rate would generate less recessionary pressures domestically than would a pegged exchange rate. Reviewing the economic performance in terms of gross domestic product per capita growth of some 34 countries for the post-Bretton Woods period, from 1973-97, that had experimented with both pegged and non-pegged arrangements, it was found that the latter fared better than the former.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
