This package aims to simplify and productionise the use of PolicyEngine’s tax-benefit microsimulation models to flexibly produce useful information at scale, slotting into existing analysis pipelines while also standardising analysis.
We do this by:
Standardising around a set of core types that let us do policy analysis in an object-oriented way
Provide a nice clean interface to put instances of these types in a database
Exemplifying this behaviour by using this package in all PolicyEngine’s production applications, and analyses
In this documentation, we’ll walk through the core concepts/types that this package makes available, and how you can use them to run policy analyses at scale.
