#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ T Overidentification: T^Euler ~ T^VRI -- test_audit U1 ======================================================= Lean: CESProofs/Dynamics/FluctuationResponse.lean (T_measurement_vri, vri_consistency_test, friction_from_vri) CESProofs/Dynamics/ConservationLaws.lean (euler_equilibrium_identity, T_cross_sectional) Prediction: Two independent proxies for information friction T should correlate cross-sectionally: T_VRI = sigma^2 / chi (variance / responsiveness ratio, Result 11) T_Euler = Euler equation residual magnitude Data: NBER-CES manufacturing panel (364 6-digit NAICS industries, 1958-2018) Method: OLS regression T_Euler ~ alpha + beta * T_VRI across industries Review Notes (2026-03-11) ------------------------- Theory match: CORRECT after rewrite. CRITICAL FIXES (2 bugs in original): 1. T_VRI was computed as 1/var(s_L), which is NOT the VRI formula. The Lean theorem T_measurement_vri (Result 11) states T = sigma^2 / chi, where sigma^2 = Var(s_L) and chi is the susceptibility (responsiveness of shares to factor ratio changes). The original 1/var(s_L) inverted the variance without dividing by chi, creating a spurious negative correlation with T_Euler through the shock-volatility confound. FIX: T_VRI = var(s_L) / |regression slope of s_L on log(K/L)|. 2. sigma_hat in the Euler equation was computed as 1/(1 - avg_s_L), which is the RECIPROCAL of the capital share s_K = 1 - s_L. For avg_s_L = 0.5, this gives sigma_hat = 2.0 instead of the correct coefficient ~0.5, inflating residuals by a factor of ~4. FIX: Use OLS to estimate the Euler coefficient directly. Data-signal alignment: ADEQUATE after fixes. - 364 manufacturing industries, 60-year panel each - T_VRI ratio formulation controls for shock magnitude (numerator and denominator scale together) - Shock volatility control absorbs remaining confound (correlation drops from 0.52 to 0.38 but remains highly significant) - Limitation: chi estimated from K/L variation, not exogenous price shocks Before/after: Spearman correlation was -0.325 (INCONSISTENT), now +0.519 (CONSISTENT) with both fixes applied.
