BUG: Make sure GETTSIM runs over simple synthetic data #727

Closed ChristianZimpelmann closed 5 months ago

Bug description

data = create_synthetic_data(2, 2)
policy_params, policy_functions = set_up_policy_environment("2024")
compute_taxes_and_transfers(data, policy_params, policy_functions)

throws a few errors.

division by zero
variable vermögen_bedürft_eg does not exist
Kindergeld is no longer specified as dict in 2024 and produces error in _unterhaltsvors_anspruch_pro_kind_m

Should we implement a test running GETTSIM over synthetic data and checking that there is no error?

Yes, definitely. Currently, we only test for the correct creation of the synthetic data. I'll create an issue for that.
