Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study is aimed at investigating the role of informal networks as a job search method in transition economy. Using the ULMS, a nationally representative survey of Ukrainian population, we investigate whether jobs obtained by means of friends, family or acquaintances' help are different in terms of wages and non-pecuniary benefits comparing to jobs found through formal channels. The results suggest that the effects are not homogenous with respect to gender. These are primarily women obtaining their jobs through informal references who experience wage loss due to the talentscontacts mismatch. At the same time, wage penalties for "connected" men reflect the existence of compensating wage differentials. The supply-side analysis is complemented by the discussion of informal references as one of the most popular recruitment practices among employers.

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.

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.
