Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The New Zealand government has recently indicated it will scale back its subsidy program for foreign firms investing in the country, except for screen productions, and divert the budgeted funds to an outward investment strategy. In sharp contrast, local governments have lately shown a much greater willingness to subsidize cultural or sporting events in order to boost local economic activity. I evaluate under what circumstances it makes sense for a government to subsidize private investments, paying particular attention to interjurisdictional competition. I show what factors determine equilibrium subsidy levels when governments enter a bidding war, and derive the expected welfare gain.

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.
