Product-market regulation, entry barriers, licensing burdens, network-industry regulation, price controls.
Environmental regulation stringency — emissions caps, standards, phase-out mandates, carbon pricing, renewable portfolio standards.
Trade policy openness — tariffs, non-tariff barriers, FTAs, industrial protection.
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.
The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 29 December 1970, signed by President Nixon, created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration within the Department of Labor and the research-arm National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). OSHA was empowered to promulgate national workplace-safety standards, conduct inspections (with worker complaint rights), issue citations, and impose civil penalties. The intended effect was to address rising workplace-injury rates, federalise worker-safety enforcement long delegated to states, and consolidate the regulatory dimension of the Nixon-era expansion of the federal administrative state alongside EPA, NHTSA, and CPSC.
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.
