Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Using growth incidence curves and pseudo-cohort analysis we show that Tanzania’s growth from 2001 to 2007 has not been pro-poor. The underlying reason appears to be the slow growth in agriculture, where most rural poor make a living. However, we argue that development of agriculture alone would not enable Tanzania to reduce poverty on a sustainable basis. Tanzania needs to emphasize both productivity improvements in small-scale agriculture which enable increased farm production and higher farm income, and growth in non-farm employment to provide the markets needed for increased agricultural output and to generate income directly.

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.
