[WIP] Modeling income tax compliance
This PR adds two new parameters (labor_income_tax_noncompliance_rate and capital_income_tax_noncompliance_rate). These will allow the OG-Core model to account for the revenue and incentive effects of income tax noncompliance. Note that this is important since the tax function parameter are typically estimated using data that miss the effects of compliance (either because they use administrative data from tax returns or because of similar under-reporting in survey data (see Hurst et al. (REStat, 2014))).
This PR is a work in progress until the following items are addressed:
- [ ] test the
tax.MTR_incomeandtax.ETR_incomefunctions with non-zero noncompliance - [ ] test
tax.income_tax_liabfunction with non-zero noncompliance for the following combinations of parameterizations:- [ ] SS,
j = None - [ ] SS,
j!=None - [ ] TPI,
j=None - [ ] TPI,
j!=None
- [ ] SS,
- [ ] test
household.FOC_savingsfunction with non-zero noncompliance for the following combinations of parameterizations:- [ ] SS,
j = None - [ ] SS,
j!=None - [ ] TPI,
j=None - [ ] TPI,
j!=None
- [ ] SS,
- [ ] test
household.FOC_laborfunction with non-zero noncompliance for the following combinations of parameterizations:- [ ] SS,
j = None - [ ] SS,
j!=None - [ ] TPI,
j=None - [ ] TPI,
j!=None
- [ ] SS,
- [x] The tax noncompliance parameters are described in the documentation
