Constructor for the TaxBrain class
Parameters
----------
start_year: int
First year in the analysis. Must be no earlier than the
first year allowed in Tax-Calculator.
end_year: int
Last year in the analysis. Must be no later than the last
year allowed in Tax-Calculator.
microdata: str or dict
A string in ["CPS", "PUF", "TMD"] or path to a micro-data
file or a Pandas DataFrame, containing micro-data, or a
dictionary containing a path to microdata, associated
weights, and grow factors. If a dict, must have keys:
"data", "start_year", "growfactors", "weights"
reform: str or dict
Individual income tax policy reform. Can be either a string
pointing to a JSON reform file, or the contents of a JSON file,
or a properly formatted JSON file.
behavior: dict
Individual behavior assumptions use by the Behavior-Response
package.
assump: str
A string pointing to a JSON file containing user specified
economic assumptions.
base_policy: str or dict
Individual income tax policy to use as the baseline for
the analysis. This policy will be implemented in the base
calculator instance as well as the reform Calculator
before the user provided reform is implemented. Can either
be a string pointing to a JSON reform file, the contents
of a JSON file, or a properly formatted dictionary.
corp_revenue: dict, list, or numpy array
A set of corporate revenue estimates for a given set of
years. The estimates much line up with start_year and
end_year.
corp_incidence_assumptions: dict
A dictionary summarizing the assumptions about the
distribution of the corporate income tax. See
taxbrain.corporate_incidence.CI_params for an example.
verbose: bool
A boolean value indicated whether or not to write model
progress reports.
stacked: bool
A boolean value indicating weather the provided reform is in the
format used for stacked reform analysis
