daedalus 0.2.34
This patch modifies the costs and fiscal costs calculation by changing how absences due to illness are calculated in get_costs() and get_fiscal_costs() (PR #115 reviewed by @robj411).
-
Only
$H$ and$D$ are counted as fully absent; -
$I_a$ were previously counted but are no longer counted as absent; -
$I_s$ are counted as present at work when calculating new workplace infections, but also as having complete productivity loss. The level of productivity loss can be changed inget_costs()andget_fiscal_costs()using the argumentproductivity_loss_infection.
Snapshot tests are updated to reflect that all costs are reduced due to no longer counting
Notes
get_fiscal_costs() is updated:
-
Labour availability match the multiplicative implementation in
get_costs(); -
Interest rate, spending rate, and tax rate have been corrected to be rates rather than percentages, and the interest rate is converted from an annual to a daily rate;
-
GVA gap now accounts for government support.
