#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Firm-Level Predictions Test — CES Free Energy Framework ======================================================== Tests firm-level predictions from Paper 3 (Dynamics on CES Landscape): Test #4: FDT (Fluctuation-Dissipation) — sigma^2 = alpha + T*chi cross-section Test #6: Equicorrelation — compound symmetry in correlation matrix Test #7: Directed Coupling — IRF asymmetry correlates with supply chain Test #8: Cyclical rho — countercyclical CES parameter (correlation proxy) Test #8b: Structural rho — countercyclical CES parameter (factor share identity) Data: 17 FRED Industrial Production series, BEA supply chain data (embedded) Migrated from scripts/test_firm_predictions.py Review Notes (2026-03-12) ------------------------- Theory match: CORRECT — Paper 3, Theorem 3.1 (VRI) and Theorem Minsky trap σ²_n = T · χ_n proved in Lean (gibbs_vri_full, static_vri, T_measurement_vri) Cyclical rho: minsky_cross_coupling in Lean (∂f_T/∂ρ < 0) I/O audit: CORRECT — all variables correctly oriented Data-signal alignment: WEAK for VRI cross-section (N=17), WEAK for cyclical rho (correlation proxy confounds ρ with common-shock variation), STRONG for other 2 Code quality: CLEAN after fixes BUG FIX (2026-03-12): cyclical_rho used step=6 (90% overlap) creating severely autocorrelated rolling windows. Changed to step=window//2 (50% overlap). Result: CONSISTENT → AMBIGUOUS. Matches paper's own result (tau=-0.069, p=0.09). NEW (2026-03-12): structural_rho subtest added — factor share identity method. Also AMBIGUOUS (tau=-0.018, p=0.329). Confirms proxy wasn't the bottleneck. Confidence: MEDIUM — 2/5 CONSISTENT (equicorrelation, directed coupling); 3/5 AMBIGUOUS (VRI cross-section, cyclical rho, structural rho) Known limitations: - Cross-sectional VRI has N=17 (power failure, not theory failure) - Bivariate VAR chi estimates are noisy (ignores cross-sector transmission) - Aggregate countercyclicality of rho is genuinely weak (paper acknowledges) - Cross-industry and cross-country variation stronger (see U3 Minsky test) """ import warnings warnings.filterwarnings('ignore') import os import numpy as np import pandas as pd from scipy import stats from common.config import COMPILED_DIR from common.data import load_fred from common.stats import verdict, log_result from common.plotting import setup_figure, setup_subplots, save_figure try: import statsmodels.api as sm from statsmodels.tsa.api import VAR HAS_SM = True except ImportError: HAS_SM = False START_DATE = '1972-01-01' LEAF_SECTORS = [ 'IPG331S', 'IPG332S', 'IPG333S', 'IPG334S', 'IPG335S', 'IPG336S', 'IPG337S', 'IPG339S', 'IPG311A2S', 'IPG313A4S', 'IPG315A6S', 'IPG321S', 'IPG322S', 'IPG323S', 'IPG324S', 'IPG325S', 'IPG326S', ] DURABLE_SECTORS = [ 'IPG331S', 'IPG332S', 'IPG333S', 'IPG334S', 'IPG335S', 'IPG336S', 'IPG337S', 'IPG339S', ] LABELS = { 'INDPRO': 'Total IP', 'IPMAN': 'Manufacturing', 'IPDMAN': 'Durable Goods', 'IPNMAN': 'Nondurable Goods', 'IPG331S': 'Primary Metals', 'IPG332S': 'Fabricated Metals', 'IPG333S': 'Machinery', 'IPG334S': 'Computer/Elec', 'IPG335S': 'Electrical Equip', 'IPG336S': 'Transport Equip', 'IPG337S': 'Furniture', 'IPG339S': 'Misc Mfg', 'IPG311A2S': 'Food/Bev/Tobacco', 'IPG313A4S': 'Textiles', 'IPG315A6S': 'Apparel/Leather', 'IPG321S': 'Wood Products', 'IPG322S': 'Paper', 'IPG323S': 'Printing', 'IPG324S': 'Petroleum/Coal', 'IPG325S': 'Chemicals', 'IPG326S': 'Plastics/Rubber', } # BEA supply chain direction matrix for 8 durable sectors BEA_DIRECTION = np.array([ [ 0, +1, +1, +1, +1, 0, +1, +1], [ -1, 0, +1, +1, +1, 0, +1, +1], [ -1, -1, 0, -1, -1, 0, -1, -1], [ -1, -1, +1, 0, +1, 0, +1, +1], [ -1, -1, +1, -1, 0, 0, +1, +1], [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [ -1, -1, +1, -1, -1, 0, 0, +1], [ -1, -1, +1, -1, -1, 0, -1, 0], ], dtype=float) _ALL_SUBTESTS = [ 'firm_predictions_variance_response', 'firm_predictions_equicorrelation', 'firm_predictions_directed_coupling', 'firm_predictions_cyclical_rho', 'firm_predictions_structural_rho', ] def _load_growth_data(): """Load FRED IP series and compute growth rates.""" all_ids = set(LEAF_SECTORS + DURABLE_SECTORS + ['INDPRO', 'IPDMAN', 'IPMAN']) raw = {} growth = {} for sid in sorted(all_ids): try: s = load_fred(sid) s = s[s.index >= START_DATE] raw[sid] = s growth[sid] = np.log(s).diff().dropna() except (FileNotFoundError, Exception): continue leaf_df = pd.DataFrame({sid: growth[sid] for sid in LEAF_SECTORS if sid in growth}) leaf_df = leaf_df.dropna() dur_df = pd.DataFrame({sid: growth[sid] for sid in DURABLE_SECTORS if sid in growth}) dur_df = dur_df.dropna() return raw, growth, leaf_df, dur_df def test_fdt(growth, leaf_df): """Test #4: FDT — sigma^2 = alpha + T*chi across sectors (cross-section).""" desc = ("Tests the fluctuation-dissipation theorem: cross-sector variance should " "scale linearly with response to aggregate shocks (sigma^2 = alpha + T*chi).
