Abstract
The bursting of the property bubble – subprime mortgage crisis – in 2007 in the United \nStates has engendered panic, recession fears and turmoil in the global financial system. Although \nthe United States economy grew by 0.6 per cent in the last quarter of 2007, down from 4.9 per \ncent in the previous quarter, day by day worsening scenarios emerge, from escalating oil prices, \nto a depreciating dollar and financial institutions’ bailout by the Federal Reserve. Many \neconomists and policy makers share the view that a subprime-led recession – i.e. two consecutive \nquarters with negative growth – is inevitable and will be much deeper and longer than the 2001 \ndot-com downturn. Moreover, the critical situation of the financial system has driven some \nanalysts to argue that should the monetary policy response fails to restore confidence among \ninvestors, the outcome would be the worst crisis seen since the Great Depression. This \npessimism is not only among specialists. Indeed, in late March 2008 the Consumer Confidence \nIndex in the United States recorded its lowest level since February 1992. \nA recession in the United States will undoubtedly have an important impact on the world \neconomy, despite the continuous rapid growth experienced by emerging economies, particularly \nChina and India. The purpose of this article is threefold: first, to characterize the current situation \nin the United States economy; second, to discuss the economic policy responses; and finally, to \nelaborate on how Caribbean economies may be affected.

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
