Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The objective of this paper is to present a pluralist perspective on teaching economic principles through the three Disney stories of Cinderella, The Little Mermaid and The Princess and the Frog. Introducing both neoclassical and heterodox perspectives through Disney animations catches student interest and improves student understanding in a way that traditional pedagogies do not. This is because it makes economic content more relatable to students and thus improves their retention of economic ideas. The emphasis in this paper is on complementing the teaching of standard economics principles with heterodox ideas and concepts including a focus on relative income, exploitation of individuals with lower cognitive abilities, shaping of consumer preferences through predatory advertisements, institutional racism and the limits of markets in addressing discrimination.

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.
