#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Correlation Robustness -- CES Diversity Encoding ================================================= Tests diversity_encoding and eigenvaluePerp_sq_proportional_to_K_sq from CorrelationRobust.lean: the CES aggregate encodes sector-level dispersion information proportionally to curvature K. The diversity_encoding theorem states: E[F(X)] = c - K/(2c) * tau^2(1-r) + O(gamma^3) This is NOT a variance-reduction prediction. It says the CES aggregate LEVEL is systematically depressed by idiosyncratic sector dispersion, and this depression scales with K. The K^2 result (Fisher information) means the aggregate carries K^2 times more information about sector conditions through the quadratic channel. T1: CES residual coupling — gap(g_agg - g_common) tracks sector dispersion more strongly in higher-K countries T2: Panel K*D interaction on gap volatility (country FE) T3: Panel K*D interaction on aggregate volatility (country FE) T4: Share rebalancing intensity scales with K T5: Rho dispersion channel Data: OECD STAN 25-sector value added (constant prices) for 38 countries. Lean backing: - diversity_encoding (CurvatureRoles/CorrelationRobust.lean): correction = -(K/(2c)) * tau^2(1-r), proportional to K - eigenvaluePerp_sq_proportional_to_K_sq (CurvatureRoles/CorrelationRobust.lean): lambda_perp^2 = K^2/((J-1)^2 * c^2), Fisher info scales as K^2 Review Notes (2026-03-13) ------------------------- Theory match: CORRECT for T1-T4 (diversity_encoding, proved in Lean). PARTIAL for T5 (rho_dispersion): conjecture, not proved. I/O audit: CORRECT for T1-T3. Panel uses D² (variance) matching theorem's τ² (was D=std, a functional form error fixed 2026-03-13). WEAK for T4. Data-signal alignment: ADEQUATE. OECD STAN 25-sector, 38 countries. Non-overlapping 5-year windows eliminate serial correlation. Code quality: IMPROVED (2026-03-13). - Fixed functional form: D → D² (theory predicts correction ∝ K·τ²) - Switched to non-overlapping windows (serial corr made overlapping conventional SEs invalid; clustered SEs killed T2 p=0.049→0.213) - With fixes: T2 p≈0.000, T3 p=0.017 (upgraded from AMBIGUOUS) Confidence in verdict: HIGH. T1-T3 all CONSISTENT with correct functional form. T4 AMBIGUOUS (weak proxy). T5 AMBIGUOUS (diagnostic, no theory). Known limitations: - Sector sigma values calibrated from literature, not per-country - CES residual includes chain-weighting and statistical discrepancy - N=167 non-overlapping windows (~4 per country) - T5 rho_dispersion prediction NOT backed by Lean theorem Date of review: 2026-03-13.
