This repository contains all working files for a project to develop a general-purpose validated microdata file for use in PolicyEngine-US and Tax-Calculator. The development will proceed in several phases.
To generate the microdata files:
- Run
export POLICYENGINE_GITHUB_MICRODATA_AUTH_TOKEN=*** - Run
export PSL_TAX_MICRODATA_RELEASE_AUTH_TOKEN=*** - Run
make data
The two tokens can be obtained from Don Boyd.
To assess, review the data examination results that compare federal agency tax estimates with those generated using the microdata file created in each project phase: phase 1 results and phase 2 results and phase 3 results.
