Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Sub-Saharan countries in Africa are evaluated to determine if conditions exists to cause some to develop the Dutch disease. Two groups are assembled from the study population: those with natural resources rents under 8% of GDP, and those over. Both groups show tendencies for higher resources rents than the baseline World readings. Both groups also experience decreases in both the agriculture and manufacturing sectors during the study period. In addition, both groups see increases in personal remittances received by the host countries. All of these are ingredients which signal potential Dutch disease. In addition to the two group comparisons, individual country assessments are conducted which identify 13 of the 49 countries, or 26.5%, as having conditions which would support the Dutch disease diagnosis. Measurements for the study are taken from the World Bank databank website and categorized into two sections, economic configuration and money flows, for further focus. The study includes discussions on natural resources development, globalization, institutions, the Dutch disease, remittances, and investments.

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.
