Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The paper tests for a link between the level of unionization and net investment rates in Canadian manufacturing. Evidence from a balanced panel of 18 industries between 1967 and 1987 reveals a negative non-linear relationship. The negative relation occurs at levels of unionization between 0 and approximately 50%, with a plateau above this level. At the mean level of unionization, a one percent increase in the unionization rate leads to a 0.7 percent drop in the net investment rate. Net investment rates do not appear to respond to measures of strike intensity. 1. INTRODUCTION This paper examines the relationship between the level of industry unionization and industry investment in Canada for the period 1967-1987. This is an important empirical issue because the theoretical impact of unions on investment is uncertain. There are two competing models for union effects on investment. The traditional on-the-demandcurve model treats the union wage increase as a tax on labor. The end result...

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.
