Confirming this w research team tomorrow

DanielJWood commented 6 years ago

I believe this is incorrect. I believe that the data diverges in most states after year 2014. But There might be some states that have data that diverges even earlier or perhaps later. Lizzie would know.

Yup let's chat w/ research team. I'd definitely been under impression that all states diverge at same year, but the following states only have equiv values up to 2013, and diverge in 2014. Please confirm same is true in R script @DanielJWood AK, IL, MD, MI, OH, OR, SD

DanielJWood commented 6 years ago

Can confirm that states diverge AFTER 2014 except in the following situations: AK, IL, MI, OH, OR, : 2013 MD, SD: 2012

And most have variable start years.
