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.
Direction of monetary-base expansion decisions relative to trend. Separate from fiscal.transfer_expansion even when correlated.
Product-market regulation, entry barriers, licensing burdens, network-industry regulation, price controls.
The fiscal pillar of Israel's July 1985 stabilisation entailed an immediate budget deficit cut on the order of 7–8% of GDP through deep cuts to consumer subsidies on food and fuel, defence spending, and public-employment outlays, coupled with a special one-off VAT surcharge. Combined with US emergency assistance, the consolidation broke the deficit-monetisation channel and laid the groundwork for sustained deficit reduction across subsequent governments.
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.
