Sector-specific licensing regimes, concentration / quota allocation, state-controlled entry (energy, telecoms, healthcare, banking).
Targeted industrial and sectoral subsidies (renewable energy, chip manufacturing, agriculture, green hydrogen, etc).
Trade policy openness — tariffs, non-tariff barriers, FTAs, industrial protection.
General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.
At the founding of the Fifth Republic, finance minister Antoine Pinay and economist Jacques Rueff led a December 1958 stabilisation plan (Plan de redressement) that devalued the franc by roughly 17.5% and introduced the heavy "nouveau franc," cut public spending, reduced subsidies, and partially liberalised trade in line with OEEC commitments. The package restored external balance ahead of EEC accession and set the macro frame for the high-growth years that followed.
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.
