Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Hiring workers takes resources. Firms may require funding before they can expend resources on recruiting workers. The search for credit reduces funds that firms can allocate to job creation. In the presence of such costs, a given change in productivity will have a larger effect on job openings and therefore unemployment. These conclusions, however, are based on acyclical credit costs. When costs are cyclical, I show that the credit market can magnify or minify the response of unemployment to changes in productivity. When creditors’ cost of search for opportunities to finance firms’ recruitment efforts are procyclical, unemployment responds more to changes in productivity, a key business-cycle statistic. I demonstrate this result both analytically and with numerical simulations based on a nonlinear solution method. The results expose a previously underappreciated but important variable that affects labor-market dynamics.

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.
