Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In recent years, many agricultural products, namely beef and pork, have been subject to country of origin labelling (COOL)provisions at the retail level in the United States (U.S.)This has caused uproar from many participants in the meat industry due to the law's implications on trade. More recently, the U.S. has adopted revised COOL provisions that became effective in May 2013. Canada and Mexico, the two most affected trading partners of the U.S., have claimed that these new rules are even more restrictive than the original ones and will do further damage to trade. This paper's purpose is to evaluate if this new rule is actually more restrictive on trade as proposed by Canada and Mexico. To accomplish this, I conduct an econometric analysis whereby I test if there was a structural break in imports to the U.S. from Canada after the implementation of the new rule. I find that there is no significant evidence of the new rule having an effect on the industry as of the end of October 2013.

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.
