Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Corporate capital structure is examined in this paper with a panel of 960 observations from 60 Canadian companies in a period from 2001 to 2016. The OLS regression analysis was applied to show the substantial influence of estimated variables, namely, profitability, tangibility, firm size and growth opportunity, on changes in book leverage and market leverage. The effects of financial economic crisis in 2008 were studied. By comparison between two segmented results (before 2008 and in/after 2008), growth opportunity became more substantial while firm size became irrelevant. The effect of heteroscedasticity to the research results is examined at the end by Robust Least Square method. The comparison confirmed that heteroscedasticity is not a serious problem for this research.

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.
