@hdoupe this is an issue with the parameter value. In tax-calculator ACTC_c
has a max value of CTC_c
. CTC_c
goes from 2000 to 1000 starting in 2026, which is what's causing the error. So the model and compconfig
package are working as expected.
I'm not sure what the best solution would be for dealing with this kind of error. Maybe in the parameter validation process this kind of error could cause a different type of error message?
I think the quick and dirty solution is to catch the error in validate_inputs
and set it under the "policy" section with the field name as "Parameter Error".
This could look like:
try:
tc_adj = {
"policy": convert_adj(adjustment["policy"],
meta_params.year.tolist()),
"behavior": convert_behavior_adj(adjustment["behavior"])
}
except ValueError as ve:
errors_warnings["policy"]["errors"]["Parameter Error"] = str(e)
COMP will use "Parameter Error" for the parameter name associated with the error message.
In tax-calculator ACTC_c has a max value of CTC_c. CTC_c goes from 2000 to 1000 starting in 2026, which is what's causing the error.
@andersonfrailey, I don't quite understand the reason for the ACTC_c max to be set at CTC_c. Do you? I'm happy to bring this up in the Tax-Calculator repo if you don't.
(specifics aside, getting the error message right def seems useful!).
@MattHJensen I do not, but I'll look through its history and try to figure it out. I'm not sure why it would need to be capped at CTC_c either. I'll open up an issue in Tax-Calc if I can't figure it out.
