Abstract
Abstract As populist and protectionist sentiments across the world increase, this paper explores the role that financial and economic literacy plays in shaping individual economic policy preferences. Analyzing original survey data collected in Italy, this study shows that financially and economically literate individuals, regardless of their economic self‐interest, are more likely to prefer remaining in the Eurozone, to favor free trade, EU immigration, non‐EU immigration, and the Fornero pension reform. The author provides preliminary evidence that the lack of differential effects between financially and economically literate winners and losers from globalization and pension reform is driven by longer time horizons. Finally, the author examines different ways to measure financial and economic literacy and finds that there is no evidence of a similar effect when looking at general education, suggesting that financial and economic literacy has distinctive features that more closely capture an individual's ability to evaluate policies.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
