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 in get_costs() and get_fiscal_costs() using the argument productivity_loss_infection.

Snapshot tests are updated to reflect that all costs are reduced due to no longer counting $I_a$.

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.
