Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

It is still often argued that, in contrast to the United States where labour productivity growth accelerated markedly in the second half of the 1990s, there is no strong evidence of such acceleration in Canada. This paper argues that a significant acceleration in labour productivity growth also occurred in Canada but somewhat later than in the U.S. This view is further examined by estimating Canada’s trend labour productivity growth within a neo-classical growth accounting framework. Our results suggest that trend labour productivity growth has indeed increased steadily since the early 1990s, reaching about 2 per cent in recent years, in line with recent estimates for the United States. This productivity improvement reflects both increased machinery and equipment capital deepening and TFP growth.

Full frame distilled prediction

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.
