Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study examines the potential impact of digitalization on financial inclusion in EU-27 countries, utilizing a geographically and temporally weighted regression method. The primary motivation of this study is to determine whether financial digitalization is effective in including people in the financial system during and after the pandemic in the European Union. Results show that financial digitalization is effective in including people into the financial system at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. But the impact of digitalization is small. Findings may be necessary for determining financial system policies and investments in fintech infrastructure in European countries to achieve a more inclusive financial system.

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.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
