Abstract
Over recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the nature of the relationships between firms, and the ways in which these might contribute to processes of local and regional economic development. A significant body of literature suggests that local growth is often derived from social ties that bind firms together through trust, reciprocity, loyalty and forbearance. While there appears to be consensus in the literature that such relationships are important, there remain doubts in some sections of economic geography about two key elements of this institutionalist model. The first concerns the unequal power relationships that often exist between enterprises and the implications of these asymmetries for the performance of firms and localities. The second relates to the implied significance of geographical proximity whereby close spatial ties between firms are considered to be an important determinant of local competitiveness and economic performance. This article explores these issues through an empirical analysis of the transactional structures of 184 firms in Australia’s manufacturing sector.

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
