Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This appendix provides more information on the survey items that are used to operationalize respondents’ evaluations of the state of the economy and their evaluations of party leaders. For economic evaluations, the measures are mostly sociotropic retrospective evaluations of the economy—though when such measures were not available, evaluations of the current state of the economy or measures that capture how respondents evaluate the government’s impact on the economy were used. The reference period in the questions vary somewhat, but most items have a twelve-month reference frame. For leader evaluations, the measures are mostly like/dislike scales or thermometer ratings of specific party leaders. When respondents were asked to rate different politicians from the same party, the most prominent leader in the election campaign was selected.

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.
