Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Canada faces a quandary. Should it adopt a corporate minimum tax under the pillar two agreement that is consistent other agreeing countries, or should it adopt a US-style corporate alternative minimum tax that is more harmonized with the minimum tax of the United States, its largest trading partner? There is no easy answer to this question. The pillar two corporate minimum tax is complex and distortionary, even though it puts a floor on tax-rate competition at 15 percent; but a made-in-Canada corporate minimum tax could reduce distortions while raising more revenue by being applied to a wider group of companies. The authors of this paper argue that Canada should take its time to see whether the US corporate alternative minimum tax qualifies as a minimum tax, giving Canada better options for a corporate tax than pillar two's global tax.

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.
