General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.
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.
20 December 1999 IMF Extended Fund Facility $2.7B three-year arrangement — Colombia's first IMF programme in 30 years. Support followed 1998-1999 recession (deepest since 1930s). Conditioned on fiscal-consolidation path, territorial fiscal reforms, crawling-band exchange-rate regime (replaced 1999 by floating).
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.
