Village and Urban Revolving Fund Project launched under Thaksin April 2001 providing Bt 1m (~$25,000) revolving- credit capital to each of ~74,000 villages and ~4,500 urban communities (total ~Bt 78bn initial endowment). Village committee of 15 elected members administered loans to village households at locally-determined interest rates (~6-12% p.a.). One of largest single-stroke microfinance programmes globally. By 2010 cumulative Bt 650bn of microloan flows. Kaboski & Townsend (2011, 2012) estimated positive consumption effects and positive but modest investment effects. Defaults rose but repayment rates ~90% maintained through 2005.
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.
