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 Nixon Phases II-IV wage-price controls (November 1971 to April 1974), succeeding the Phase I freeze of 15 August 1971 announced under Executive Order 11615 and the Economic Stabilization Act, used a Cost of Living Council, Pay Board, and Price Commission to administer mandatory and later voluntary controls on wages, prices, dividends, and rents. Phase III (Jan 1973) loosened the regime, Phase IV (Aug 1973) reimposed selective controls. The intended effect was to suppress inflation while pursuing expansionary monetary-fiscal policy in the run-up to the 1972 election — but the regime collapsed under the 1973 oil shock and entrenched stagflation.
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.
