Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

There has been much research into how cigarette taxation affects cigarette use in various demographic groups, but little work into its effect on daily and non-daily user groups and within these user groups. Also, none of the existing studies assesses the extent to which alcohol use influences the deterrent effects of cigarette taxation policy. The present research used innovative quantile regression techniques on individual-level Canadian data: (1) to estimate separately the impact of cigarette prices on various levels of smoking among daily and non-daily smokers, and (2) to explore how frequency of alcohol consumption affects cigarette price sensitivity among daily and non-daily smokers at various levels of smoking.

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.

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.
