Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

There is widespread consensus that the state of the economy matters for presidents' standing in public opinion. To this point, however, the economy that has been taken to influence presidential approval has been exclusively domestic. We show that the domestic economy continued to matter in the 1990s, but so too did America's international economic performance, as measured by the national trade balance and inflation in the price of imported goods. We further show that not all trading partners are equal in their implications for the president's public standing. Disadvantageous trade relations with Canada have no effect on the president's approval ratings, while similar relations with Japan depress them significantly. We explain this difference by patterns of media coverage, showing that the volume of media coverage of trade relations with the two countries has contrasting effects on presidential approval ratings.

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.
