UK parameters¶
This page shows a list of available parameters for reforms for the UK model.
We exclude from this list:
Some parameters without documentation (we’re a large, fast-growing model maintained by a small team- we’re working on it!)
Abolition parameters, which mirror each household property and allow the user to set the value of the property to zero (these take the format
gov.abolitions.variable_name) because these roughly triple the size of this list and are repetitive.
