Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper considers the possibility of the persistence of quasi rents in the US natural gas industry. We compare the term structure of gas and oil futures, and test for cointegration between gas and oil prices. The results indicate that natural gas yield curves are consistently higher than those of oil, reflecting possible higher risk premiums. The results also indicate that gas prices are cointegrated with and are driven by oil prices. This is consistent with the notion of oil price serving as market indicator for gas contracts with potential quasi-rents. Our findings are important in supporting the view that natural gas markets may maintain quasi-rents, despite evidence of long-term trends in improving market efficiency.

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.
