Rationale

Ocean tech, aquaculture, and defence procurement drive Atlantic economic growth. Each provincial GDP ripples into 4 targets: gdp_atlantic, debt_to_gdp, hst_revenue, own_source_revenue. Three provinces, 12 downstream effects in one proposal.

Details

Epoch: 27

Domain: regional_development

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $3.00B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$3.50B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; agrees)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$2.88B → education_spending (Education Spending) via pei_corporate_income_tax
  • +$0.62B → canada_health_transfer (Canada Health Transfer (CHT)) via gdp_growth

Causal effects: 12 downstream variables affected (12 immediate)

Divergence after: 61.187

Variable changes

  • pei_gdp: 10.5 → 12
  • nova_scotia_gdp: 62.9 → 70
  • new_brunswick_gdp: 48.64 → 54

Proposed policy move

pei_gdp: 10.5 → 12 (▲ 1.5)
nova_scotia_gdp: 62.9 → 70 (▲ 7.1)
new_brunswick_gdp: 48.64 → 54 (▲ 5.36)

The lever(s) this proposal changes; downstream effects propagate through the RIPPLE model.
