Abstract
Using data from over 250 US firms over the 1999-2003 period, we address how a firm’s CIO position influences the level of IT investments and the returns to IT investments. We find that CIO position has a significant impact on IT investments: firms with a formal CIO position make higher levels of IT investments. We also find that returns to IT investments are greater for firms whose CIOs hold multiple titles, compared to firms without CIOs or CIOs in less senior management positions. In addition, we find that the impact of CIO’s position on IT investments is much greater in “transform” industries compared to “automate” and “informate” industries. Further, we find that CIO position has significantly stronger impacts in IT intensive firms than in non-IT intensive firms, in terms of both its impact on IT investments and the moderating effect on returns to IT investments.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
