Now that #314 has been merged I have a few ideas about the next updates to taxdata we can make. In no particular order:

  • Improve age variable on PUF #333
  • Refactor the repo to remove redundant code. We can use the same code to make the tax units for the CPS file to make them for the statistical matching and consolidate the stage 2 scripts.
  • Re-write the make files and documentation to reflect the changes in PR Create CPS file with Python Scripts #314
  • Revisit how we handle imputations for the CPS
  • Possibly make parts of taxdata into a standalone package
  • Put together some scripts to make a simple report detailing how projections change when we update the CBO projections our extrapolations are based on so that we can have a log of those changes
  • Work on making it as easy as possible for others to use taxdata to prepare taxcalc-ready microdata files using other years of the PUF and CPS. This could go hand in hand with making parts of taxdata a standalone package

Would love to hear other's thoughts!
