Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper aims to identify the macroeconomic variables that determine the female and male suicide rates in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Costa Rica, using panel data from the 2000-2018 period. The results show that macroeconomics exerts important effects on suicide, especially those effects originating in the labor market: unemployment and self-employment increase it while salaried employment and in the service sector decrease it. Likewise, variables associated with social exclusion, such as homicides and the poverty gap, increase it, while remittances reduce it, and deindustrialization increases the suicide rate. Of particular importance is the role of monetary and credit contraction, as well as interest rate rises, in increasing the suicide rate. The paper explores some adjustment mechanisms that do not rely on monetary contraction but on increasing aggregate supply by increasing female employment The paper ends with a series of conclusions.

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.
