Abstract
Sustained economic growth from Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is an economic strategy susceptible to volatility. This leaves economies that are relatively dependent upon FDI inflow, such as the Canadian economy, especially vulnerable to volatility shocks. FDI has seen a tremendous rise in global acceptance due to the extensively studied and accepted economic growth benefits it can offer a nation. However, literature studying the methods by which FDI can be detrimental to economic growth and the factors which impact this, are sparse. This paper will expand on the literature regarding Canadian FDI inward flow by closely analyzing Canada’s dependence on FDI and the risks associated with it, as well as its degree of correlation with global volatility. Analyzing the standard deviation of Canadian FDI inward flow during periods of economic uncertainty reveals that, relative to the G7, Canada’s FDI inflow is volatile. Using a Granger causality test and cross-correlation analysis to determine if VIX levels serve as a predictor of Canadian FDI inflow, it becomes clear that the Canadian economy is markedly susceptible to global economic shocks.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
