Product-market regulation, entry barriers, licensing burdens, network-industry regulation, price controls.
Trade policy openness — tariffs, non-tariff barriers, FTAs, industrial protection.
Targeted industrial and sectoral subsidies (renewable energy, chip manufacturing, agriculture, green hydrogen, etc).
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.
Architect: Finance Minister Roger Douglas under Labour PM David Lange. Comprehensive market-oriented reform from a left-coalition: (1) floating NZD (1985); (2) elimination of most agricultural subsidies (1984-85) — previously among OECD's most subsidised sectors; (3) corporatisation and privatisation of state enterprises (Telecom NZ, PostBank, Air NZ, electricity SOEs); (4) GST at 10% (1986, 12.5% 1989, 15% 2010); (5) RBNZ independence + inflation-targeting (1989, world's first formal IT regime); (6) Employment Contracts Act 1991 under subsequent Nat government. Became reference case for Labour/ centre-left governments implementing market reforms. Coalition- content case: Labour implementing pro-market reform aligning with Schröder Agenda 2010 pattern (refinement D.3.1).
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.
