Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper uses direct and indirect demands for transportation as a proportion of final demand to assess the relative share of transportation-related demand in Canadian gross domestic product (GDP) from 1971 to 1996. The data are derived from the Canadian input/output tables. Three trends are highlighted over the time period studied: a growing share of transportation related trade in GDP, a decline in transportation investment, and a decline in the transportation margins associated with the distribution of commodities. Overlying these trends, as a major determinant of transportation as a share of GDP, is the volatility of transport fuel prices. Transportation as a share of GDP has been fairly steady over the time period studied, representing 20.7% of GDP in 1996, with a peak of 21.1% in 1981 corresponding to the peak in fuel prices, and a low of 19.1% during the recession of the early 1990s.

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.
