Description

This would allow UKMOD users to compare OpenFisca-UK's input data with UKMOD default data and see how the outputs of reforms look. Filing here rather than in OpenFisca-UK-Data, as some variables have imputations in OpenFisca formulas rather than the function in the data package.

Research direction

Start by comparing the roles of OpenFisca-UK, OpenFisca-UK-Data, and UKMOD default data, with particular attention to variables whose imputations are in OpenFisca formulas. Define the dataset scope and generation entry point, then verify that users can compare the input data and reform outputs as described.
