Description

[See this notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/18gu80gydLhwPYPrPNgxjJWGteNXunSpL)

Research direction

Start by running the linked Colab notebook and compare the neutralizing state-variable case with the federal-variable and parametric-state reform cases. Trace the caching behavior involved in those examples; done means neutralizing the state variable changes the resulting policy calculation as expected.
