General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.
Size of cash and near-cash transfer programmes (unemployment benefits, means-tested assistance, universal child benefits). Architecturally distinct from forced-saving schemes — see condition welfare_architecture.
Targeted industrial and sectoral subsidies (renewable energy, chip manufacturing, agriculture, green hydrogen, etc).
Product-market regulation, entry barriers, licensing burdens, network-industry regulation, price controls.
Ease of hiring/firing, collective-bargaining scope, minimum wage rigidity, temporary/permanent contract regulation.
Direction of monetary-base expansion decisions relative to trend. Separate from fiscal.transfer_expansion even when correlated.
Upon taking office (Dec 2023), Javier Milei implemented aggressive macroeconomic stabilisation + deregulation: devaluation of official peso ~55% to close gap with parallel market, fiscal surplus achieved within first quarter via expenditure cuts (subsidies, transfers, public-sector wages in real terms), broad deregulation omnibus (DNU 70/2023), labour-law reform, privatisation authorisations. Inflation decelerated from 211% annualised at entry to <40% yoy by late 2024. Poverty rate spiked short-run then partially recovered. Central-bank interest rates reduced as inflation fell. Dollarisation aspiration postponed. Ongoing case study; outcomes trajectory being closely watched. Refinements D.3.1 would code this as libertarian-right coalition implementing market-oriented reform.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
