Direction of monetary-base expansion decisions relative to trend. Separate from fiscal.transfer_expansion even when correlated.
De jure and de facto independence of the central bank from fiscal authority. Per D.1.5 scope, one of the framework's defensible monetary positions.
Product-market regulation, entry barriers, licensing burdens, network-industry regulation, price controls.
General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.
The four-month URV transition phase under Cardoso, beginning March 1994, used a virtual unit (Unidade Real de Valor) pegged daily to the US dollar to systematically re-denominate prices, wages, and contracts. The mechanism eliminated inertial inflation expectations without freezing prices, and prepared the introduction of the new real currency on 1 July 1994 — a key innovation distinguishing the Real Plan from prior failed Brazilian heterodox stabilisations.
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.
