Implication for AI/platform economics: complementarities between public funding and digital (AI-enabled) platforms can convert public demand into decentralized labor opportunities, reshaping sectoral employment without growth in traditional firms.
Conceptual extension of empirical findings on platform-mediated cultural employment and fiscal procurement interactions; evidence comes from city-level DID results and inferred platform-activity proxies (280 cities, 2008–2021).

Principal stratification analysis suggests the training’s effect on scores operated primarily by expanding the set of LLM users (an adoption channel) rather than substantially improving per-user productivity among those who would already use the LLM.
Mechanism decomposition using principal stratification applied to the randomized trial data (n = 164); analysis indicates a larger contribution from the adoption margin than from within-user productivity gains, though estimates have wide confidence intervals.
