Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We amend the canonical matching model by assuming diminishing returns to labor. We put the model to the twin test of generating a high volatility of labor market variables in response to productivity shocks (the “Shimer puzzle”) and a moderate response to changes in unemployment benefits and find that it passes that test. It does not feature wage rigidity, nor is it based on a small surplus calibration. Diminishing returns introduce a distinction between marginal and average surplus. With a standard (large average surplus) calibration, we can have a small marginal surplus, and thus a strong response of hiring to productivity shocks, while obtaining a measured response of unemployment to changes in benefits.

Full frame distilled prediction

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.
