Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This article investigates the relationship between the productivity of plants and participation in export markets in the greater Los Angeles area using unpublished plant‐level data from the U.S. Census Bureau's Longitudinal Research Database. Two key questions are examined: (1) do plants that export learn in foreign markets and become more efficient, or (2) do more efficient plants self‐select into export markets? The results support previous claims that more productive plants tend to self‐select into export markets. Little support is found for the learning‐by‐exporting argument. The policy implications of these findings are discussed.

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.
