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.
Progressivity of the personal income tax schedule, including top marginal rates, bracket spread, and targeted credits (EITC-equivalents).
Ease of hiring/firing, collective-bargaining scope, minimum wage rigidity, temporary/permanent contract regulation.
The 9 March 2008 Hungarian referendum, organised after a Fidesz-led signature drive under the Constitution and Act III of 1998 on referenda, abolished by 84% the HUF 300 hospital visit fee, the daily hospital fee, and university tuition fees that had been introduced under the Gyurcsány government's 2006 austerity. Binding turnout was achieved (50.5%). The intended effect, from the opposition's perspective, was to reverse user-pay reforms and reassert universal-access principles in health and education.
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.
