Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper examines micro-economic incentives for smoking cigarettes. The key aspect considered is network effects, and how they can help explain the demand for cigarettes. Common examples of network industries include telephone, email, computer hardware and, computer software. A network effect is generally defined as a feature of a market that causes demand for a good or service to be dependent on the amount of people using that good. The most common example of a market affected by network effects is in the market for telecommunication services and telecommunication products. It is easy to imagine that the utility of a telephone would be quite low if no one else had one; and as other people begin to purchase telephones, the utility increases. This effect is called a consumption externality, which is the most common form of a network effect.

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.
