Produced applied research and operational blueprints that specify how a job guarantee could be implemented within a sovereign currency regime. Key outputs include peer-reviewed papers, policy briefs and a major book that lay out program design, administrative arrangements, wage-setting mechanisms and likely macroeconomic effects. These documents present concrete templates for municipal and national pilot programs and include costing approaches based on sectoral accounting consistent with MMT. Regularly translated research into policy outreach by briefing legislative staffs, participating in expert panels and providing testimony to advisory councils and NGOs. Such engagements supplied policymakers with detailed program parameters rather than abstract endorsements, enabling direct incorporation of MMT-informed job guarantee elements into campaign platforms, legislative drafts and policy proposals. By combining empirical evidence, case study design and step-by-step implementation guidance, the work influenced both the technical feasibility assessment of job guarantees and the political conversation about public employment as macroeconomic stabilization. The practical orientation of these outputs helped shift the debate from theoretical possibility to policy engineering.
