Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study analyzes the impact of accessibility on business location and business performance in Toronto. A multinomial logit model of intra-metropolitan business location is used to assess the relative importance of accessibility variables, such as proximity to infrastructure, customers, competitors and complimentary businesses on firm location. Key accessibility variables are plotted against business performance indicators (sales and productivity) for analysis of their relationship. This study uses a detail classification of industry (4 digit SIC) so that close attention can be given to the idiosyncrasies among different industries. Specific types of business studied are: law firms, pharmacy stores and car dealerships. Results show that proximity to infrastructure is not a signification factor affecting business locations. Rather, it is the relative locations of all other socio-economic activities that matters. Further, analysis of relationship between accessibility and productivity indicates that accessibility is a necessary condition but not sufficient condition for business success.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
