Abstract
The paper identifies and theories future trends in public/private risk-sharing agreements, as a form of public subsidy, in thin market air service provision. Using a Pacific Islands example, the paper details the economic and policy implications of such agreements. In November 2008, the Cook Islands reached a risk-sharing agreement (with a reported value of NZ\$5 million) with Air New Zealand that secured the continuation of a weekly flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Rarotonga (RAR). By buying the option directly from the producer, the Cook Islands Government has secured access via public subsidy to ensure future visitation. Supply-side subsidisation of air service provision is not uncommon. Existing models in the United States, Europe and Australia highlight the importance of connectivity of destinations for overall economic growth. The paper makes use of policy analysis to dissect the stated value of securing air access for several Pacific Island nations, including the Cook Islands, Samoa and Tonga. The paper concludes by assessing future trends of direct government subsidisation of air services for autochthonous destinations given increasing stress on airline unit costs.

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.
