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.
Targeted industrial and sectoral subsidies (renewable energy, chip manufacturing, agriculture, green hydrogen, etc).
Statutory and effective corporate tax rates, treatment of depreciation, and international competitiveness.
In October 2022 the Bureau of Industry and Security imposed sweeping export controls on advanced semiconductors, chip-design software, and the equipment used to manufacture leading-node logic and memory chips destined for China, with expansions through 2023 to close routing loopholes. The rules cover U.S. persons, U.S.-origin goods, and items produced abroad with U.S. technology under the Foreign Direct Product rule, marking the most aggressive American technology-export restriction since the Cold War.
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.
