Innis Redux: Dependence, Entrenchment and Lock-In in the Canadian Provinces
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Financial capitalism is built on a distribution of regional institutional logics thereby underlining the importance of understanding the geography of finance when considering contemporary economic activity. Employed within this research agenda, comparative corporate governance has long focused on national models of corporate governance with particular attention paid to the balance of influence between divergent path-dependence and convergent global market forces. Within this debate, the Canadian model of corporate governance has received little attention and has long been assumed to be an extension of the USA model. An analysis of the corporate geography of Canada demonstrates that the path-dependent forces of Canada’s resource-dependent economic development remain a principal determinant in contemporary corporate Canada. Continued resource-dependence in combination with a system of asymmetric federalism has lead to a situation in which provincial regulatory frameworks have effectively been locked-in by corporate interests. As corporate interests are provincially distinct due to the heterogeneous distribution of natural resources and markets across Canada this provincial lock-in leads to an informal degree of managerial entrenchment. Combined, these path-dependent consequences have rendered the Canadian model of corporate governance distinctive in its multi-jurisdictional nature.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
