Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Over the past decade, many policy options have been proposed to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from industrial activity in Canada. The purpose of this article is to introduce one specific example, Alberta’s Specified Gas Emitters Regulation (SGER), and to compare and contrast the incentives provided by this program with those provided by comparably priced carbon taxes. The results show that, unlike a carbon tax policy that prices all emissions reductions identically, the SGER program provides vastly different rewards for emissions reductions achieved in different ways within the same facility. Despite this, it is not accurate to say that the SGER systematically under prices emissions reductions relative to a carbon tax; in many cases the implicit incentives provided by the two policy options are identical, and in some cases the SGER would reward better performance where a carbon tax would not.

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.
