Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this paper I document basic fahs about Canadian business cycle fluctuations for the period 1971 to 1996 and assess the ability of simple real business cycle models to reproduce the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of these business cycle fluctuations. I develop a dynamic general equilibrium model with government spending that is financed by either lump-sum tax or labour-income tax. The inclusion of a government sector in the model weakly improves the model's ability to reproduce basic facts about Canadian business cycle fluctuations in the aforementioned period. When government spending is financed by a lump-sum tax, the model predicts a weak negative correlation between hours of work and productivity that is close to the value measured in the actual data. Inclusion of government also improves the model's predictability of the relative volatility of consumption to output.

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.
