-
Calibration Methodology
- How we calibrate benefit losses to CBO's projections
- Specific CBO estimates we target
- Calibration parameters and their values
- Validation of calibration results
-
Technical Implementation Details
- Key variables and parameters in the model
- Any special handling or edge cases
Rationale
This documentation will help users understand:
- The accuracy and limitations of our OBBBA modeling
- How our estimates align with official projections
- The methodological choices we've made
Suggested Format
- Blog post in the PolicyEngine blog section
- Technical but accessible to policy analysts
