Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This article aims to reevaluate different socioeconomic and political systems—the era of Habsburg absolutism and the reconstruction after the expulsion of the Ottomans (1720–80s), the age of reforms (1780–1880), and the beginnings of the capitalist development in the Kingdom of Hungary (1880–1914)—from a different perspective: by focusing on trends in inequalities and changes in development levels. In order to trace the changes in the pattern of backward areas, development was calculated for three time horizons relying on the settlement-level data of the GISta Hungarorum database. The novelty of our approach is that we consider development multidimensionally, therefore a composite indicator of development was calculated using a causal approach (Structural Equation Modeling [SEM]) to substitute for Gross Domestic Product (GDP) or Human Development Index (HDI), which cannot be reconstructed at fine scale, nor calculated for the eighteenth century. Regional patterns of core-periphery relations and their temporal changes (differences in dynamism) were analyzed using GIS-methods for the three time horizons, and the varying depth of backwardness was also investigated by tracing two U-curves of the type developed by Jeffrey Williamson and Simon Kuznets over three centuries. Special attention has been paid to the relationship between nationalities and development levels in our analysis, as state politics has been accused of a discriminative attitude toward national minorities.

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.
