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.
Ease of hiring/firing, collective-bargaining scope, minimum wage rigidity, temporary/permanent contract regulation.
Statutory and effective corporate tax rates, treatment of depreciation, and international competitiveness.
The aktiivimalli ("activation model"), in force from January 2018 to end-2019, conditioned full unemployment-benefit payments on jobseekers meeting work or training thresholds during a 65-day reference window, cutting payments by roughly 4.65% for those who did not. Enacted by the Sipilä centre-right government, it tied benefit access to active labour-market measures and was repealed in 2020 under the Marin government following political backlash and mixed evaluation evidence.
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.
