Financial-sector regulation — banking separation, capital requirements, cross-border activity rules, derivatives oversight.
Sector-specific licensing regimes, concentration / quota allocation, state-controlled entry (energy, telecoms, healthcare, banking).
Post-crisis financial regulation: created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the Financial Stability Oversight Council, the Volcker Rule (proprietary trading restrictions on deposit- insured banks), stricter capital + liquidity requirements, enhanced prudential standards for systemically important institutions, orderly liquidation authority, and OTC derivatives clearing requirements. Partial re-regulation of the 1999 Gramm-Leach-Bliley era. Materially tightened financial regulation; critics argue compliance costs disproportionately burdened community banks. 2018 Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act softened some provisions for smaller banks.
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.
