Abstract
Studies abound which systematically analyse the economic impact of work stoppages on the two protagonists as well as on specific industries. The results of such micro studies are a mixed bag. The findings of the first macro study, involving Canada were published in 1975. Employing input-output analysis, it measured the impact of strike losses on the Canadian economy as a whole, and found the strike impact statistically insignificant. This study is flawed on two counts: (a) it depends on an arbitrarily chosen sample, and (b) it covers a period of only one year. The current study measures the impact of strikes on the Canadian economy, which heavily depends for its growth on external trade, via their impact on its merchandise trade. Using a simultaneous approach towards export and import functions, it covers a period from 1971 to 1993. The results indicate that strikes seem to exert some impact on those categories of trade which constitute a small percentage of total Canadian external trade. Major trade sectors experience a statistically insignificant impact. Put together, therefore, there is little evidence of a negative strike impact on merchandise trade and, hence, on the national economy as a whole over a significant period of time.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
