This pull request adds to the Calculator
distribution_tables
anddifference_table
methods a check that the two Calculator objects have the same values for theBEN_*_value
parameters embedded in their Consumption objects. This test is necessary because the consumption value of non-cash benefits is included in expanded_income. Different values for theBEN_*_value
parameters in the baseline and reform Calculator objects would induce a spurious change in both expanded_income and after-tax expanded income.
