Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this study, I apply two-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) to investigate the short-term effects of new information technology (IT) on workplace productivity. I use data from Statistics Canada to estimate workplace operating efficiency based on a variety of labor inputs and non-labor operating costs. In the second stage, I relate operating efficiency to new IT implementation and organizational streamlining. I find that the beneficial effects of new IT occur relatively quickly, but that organizational streamlining has an initial disruptive effect before beneficial effects are realized. I also find evidence of complementarity between new IT and organizational streamlining.

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.
