Abstract
We structurally estimate how much stochastic-volatility, relative to first-moment shocks, account for policy, demand or supply fluctuations in Canada. The historical Canadian business cycle is largely due to domestic technology and policy shocks. Time-varying volatilities dominate during times of turmoil and policy-environment changes. Our model-based shock-volatility accounting attributes the early 1980s crisis to international, cost-push, and monetary-policy shock volatilities; the adoption of inflation targeting in the early 1990s to monetary-policy uncertainty; the recessions around the early 1980s and 1990s to investment volatility; and income-tax and capital-gains tax reforms involve relatively large tax-policy uncertainty.

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
