Abstract
Abstract The writings of Ronald Coase, along with those of Armen Alchian and Harold Demsetz, on the theory of property rights, transaction cost economics, and the economics of institutions have yielded powerful insights and transformed many areas of economics. The seminal paper of Ronald Coase (Coase 1960, “The Problem of Social Cost,” Journal of Law and Economics , 3(1),1–44) not only clarified the notion of externality but also laid the foundations for a powerful theory of property rights and transaction cost economics. The insights of that paper have helped to shape the field of Law and Economics and also proved important in such fields as Environmental Economics, among others. It is worth mentioning that Coase’s work also led to our late colleague John Dales’ important book (Dales 1968, Pollution, Property, and Prices: An Essay in Policy-Making , University of Toronto Press) that formulated the idea of markets in pollution rights (cap-and-trade). In this note we will briefly review our work spanning many years linking the Coase Theorem to Cooperative Game Theory and Core Theory, emphasizing inter alia the importance of our approach for rationalizing property rights and contractual arrangements.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
