Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper examines the effects of revisions on quarterly GDP estimates in highlighting effects on business cycle turning points. We integrate a Markow-switching process to a dynamic factor model of monthly GDP. The quarterly averages of our monthly GDP estimates are, by construction, exactly equal to quarterly GDP estimates. This study finds that the model used in incorporating the preliminary data is a flexible framework in estimating of the 'true' quarterly GDP. Data precision estimates are improved when the revision errors get smaller and unimproved on the other hand. When the model is estimated using data available immediately after 2001, it identifies a recession in 2001-02. But as revised data are added to the information set, the model assigns progressively lower probabilities to the recession state in 2001-02.

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.
