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.
Denmark signed the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union (the 'Fiscal Compact') on 2 March 2012 and ratified it via Folketing vote; as a non-euro member, Denmark opted in voluntarily to the treaty's fiscal rules (structural balance, debt brake, automatic correction). Implementation was carried in domestic law by the Budgetlov (2012). Politically significant because it tied a Social-Democrat-led coalition to centre-right fiscal-rule architecture under external EU constraint in the wake of the 2010-12 Eurozone sovereign-debt crisis.
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.
