This PR updates TaxData to use the latest CBO economic projections. The general steps I took were:
puf_data/StatMatch/runmatch.pyafter addingasec2016_pubuse_v3.datto the repoMake allA few notes:
updatecbo.pydoes not successfully retrieve the CG data. I got around this by manually updating the CG data inCBO_baseline.csv, but we might want to address this issue in a future PR.Make all, the new weights files did not successfully overwrite the old files. To get this process to work, I had to delete*_weights.csv.gzbefore runningMake all.puf_stage2/stage2.pyline 68 so thatstage3.pyis able to read the file.benefit_growth_rates.csvshould be the same as 2027-2029. If this continues to be the case for future years, we should consider adding a note toCBO_Baseline_Updating_Instructions.mdcc @MattHJensen @andersonfrailey
