It pins a\ncertified model + data bundle, so results are reproducible and the data provenance is known.\n\nOriginally verified against policyengine 4.21.0 (2026-07); the marked examples re-run in CI\nagainst the latest release (5.0.1 at 2026-08). Re-verify the bundle when precision matters\n(see \"Checking what you're running\" below).\n\n## Setup\n\nCountry models are extras — bare `policyengine` installs neither:\n\n```bash\nuv pip install \"policyengine[us]\"   # US model + certified US data bundle\nuv pip install \"policyengine[uk]\"   # UK model (population data needs HUGGING_FACE_TOKEN)\nuv pip install \"policyengine\"       # both countries\n```\n\nAnalysis always runs on the **latest released** `policyengine` (`>=5.0.1`; resolve \"latest\"\nfrom PyPI as described in \"Checking what you're running\"). Each release pins exactly-matched\ncountry-model versions and the certified data bundle, which is what makes results\nreproducible. Directly-imported country packages (`policyengine_us` / `policyengine_uk`) are\nfor model development and tests, not for analysis compute.\n\n## Household calculations (fast, ~2 GB RAM)\n\n`calculate_household` answers \"what does this specific household get/pay?\" — no dataset\ndownload, runs in seconds.\n\n<!-- verify -->\n```python\nimport policyengine as pe\n\nresult = pe.us.calculate_household(\n    people=[{\"age\": 40, \"employment_income\": 50_000}, {\"age\": 8}],\n    tax_unit={\"filing_status\": \"HEAD_OF_HOUSEHOLD\"},\n    household={\"state_code\": \"CA\"},\n    year=2026,\n    extra_variables=[\"income_tax\"],\n)\nassert result.tax_unit.ctc == 2_200          # OBBBA CTC, 2026\nassert round(result.household.household_net_income) == 46_358\nprint(result.spm_unit.snap, result.tax_unit.eitc, result.tax_unit.income_tax)\n```\n\nResult access is **dot-attribute on singular entities** — `result.tax_unit.ctc`, never\n`result.tax_unit[0][\"ctc\"]`. Only `result.person` is a list (`result.person[0].age`). Entities:\n`person[i]`, `marital_unit`, `family`, `spm_unit`, `tax_unit`, `household` (US);\n`person[i]`, `benunit`, `household` (UK).\n\n**Each entity exposes a limited default column set** — accessing anything else raises\n`AttributeError` listing what's available and telling you the fix: pass\n`extra_variables=[\"variable_name\"]` to materialize it (as with `income_tax` above; the\ndefault person columns don't include it).\n\nReforms are a **flat dict** of `{parameter_path: value}`:\n\n<!-- verify -->\n```python\nimport policyengine as pe\n\nbaseline = pe.us.calculate_household(\n    people=[{\"age\": 40, \"employment_income\": 50_000}, {\"age\": 8}],\n    tax_unit={\"filing_status\": \"HEAD_OF_HOUSEHOLD\"},\n    household={\"state_code\": \"CA\"},\n    year=2026,\n)\nreformed = pe.us.calculate_household(\n    people=[{\"age\": 40, \"employment_income\": 50_000}, {\"age\": 8}],\n    tax_unit={\"filing_status\": \"HEAD_OF_HOUSEHOLD\"},\n    household={\"state_code\": \"CA\"},\n    year=2026,\n    reform={\"gov.irs.credits.ctc.amount.base[0].amount\": 3_000},\n)\nassert reformed.tax_unit.ctc == 3_000\nassert reformed.household.household_net_income - baseline.household.household_net_income == 800\n```\n\nUK works the same way:\n\n```python\nuk = pe.uk.calculate_household(\n    people=[{\"age\": 35, \"employment_income\": 50_000}],\n    year=2026,\n)\nuk.person[0].income_tax\nuk.household.hbai_household_net_income\n```\n\nTo sweep an input (e.g. earnings 0→200k for an MTR curve), pass `axes`. Every variable on the\nresult then comes back as a **list of values across the sweep** instead of a scalar:\n\n<!-- verify -->\n```python\nimport policyengine as pe\n\nresult = pe.us.calculate_household(\n    people=[{\"age\": 40}],\n    tax_unit={\"filing_status\": \"SINGLE\"},\n    household={\"state_code\": \"TX\"},\n    year=2026,\n    axes=[[{\"name\": \"employment_income\", \"min\": 0, \"max\": 200_000, \"count\": 401}]],\n)\nearnings = result.person[0].employment_income      # [0.0, 500.0, ..., 200000.0]\nnet = result.household.household_net_income        # list of 401 values\nassert len(earnings) == len(net) == 401\nassert earnings[1] == 500.0\n```\n\n## Population analysis (heavy: tens of GB RAM, minutes per simulation)\n\nThe canonical population flow builds year-specific datasets from the certified bundle, then\nruns baseline and reform `Simulation`s:\n\n<!-- verify: slow -->\n```python\nimport policyengine as pe\nfrom policyengine.core import Simulation\n\ndatasets = pe.us.ensure_datasets(years=[2026], data_folder=\"./data\")\ndataset = next(iter(datasets.values()))\n\nbaseline = Simulation(dataset=dataset, tax_benefit_model_version=pe.us.model)\nreform = Simulation(\n    dataset=dataset,\n    tax_benefit_model_version=pe.us.model,\n    policy={\"gov.irs.credits.ctc.amount.base[0].amount\": 3_000},\n)\n\nanalysis = pe.us.economic_impact_analysis(baseline, reform)\nbudget = pe.us.calculate_budgetary_impact(baseline, reform)\nprint(f\"Total budgetary impact: ${budget.total / 1e9:,.1f}B \"\n      f\"(federal ${budget.federal / 1e9:,.1f}B, state ${budget.state / 1e9:,.1f}B)\")\nfor d in analysis.decile_impacts.outputs:\n    print(d.decile, d.absolute_change, d.relative_change)\n```\n\nKey facts:\n\n- **Call `economic_impact_analysis` before (or instead of) manual `ensure()`.** It configures\n  conditionally-materialized output variables (e.g. `federal_benefit_cost`) and ensures both\n  simulations. If you call `Simulation.ensure()` yourself and then\n  `calculate_budgetary_impact`, it fails with \"variable ... is not present in simulation\n  output data\" — the fix is `pe.us.economic_impact_analysis(baseline, reform)` first, or\n  `configure_budgetary_impact_variables` on each simulation before `ensure()`.\n- `economic_impact_analysis` returns a `PolicyReformAnalysis`: `decile_impacts`,\n  `program_statistics`, `baseline_poverty` / `reform_poverty` (by measure and demographic\n  group), `baseline_inequality` / `reform_inequality` (Gini, top shares). Each\n  `OutputCollection` exposes `.outputs` (typed) and `.dataframe`.\n- `calculate_budgetary_impact` partitions into `total` / `federal` / `state` /\n  `unattributed`. Sign convention: **positive = government better off**. `total` is\n  Δhousehold_tax − Δhousehold_benefits plus shared-funding health-program cost\n  (Medicaid/CHIP/MSP), so it captures cascading interactions — never score a reform by\n  summing the directly-modified program variable alone.\n- **Memory/time**: a full US population simulation is tens of GB of RAM and several minutes;\n  a baseline+reform pair with full outputs took ~15 minutes on a 128 GB machine. Run ONE\n  heavy simulation pipeline at a time. Household calculations are the cheap path — prefer\n  them whenever the question is about specific households.\n- `Simulation(policy={...})` takes the same flat reform dict as `calculate_household`.\n\n### Aggregates and filters\n\nFor a single number (program spending, revenue, caseload), use `Aggregate` /\n`ChangeAggregate` instead of the full analysis bundle:\n\n```python\nfrom policyengine.outputs import Aggregate, AggregateType\n\nca_snap = Aggregate(\n    simulation=baseline,\n    variable=\"snap\",\n    aggregate_type=AggregateType.SUM,\n    filter_variable=\"state_code\",\n    filter_variable_eq=\"CA\",\n)\nca_snap.run()\nca_snap.result\n```\n\n### The managed country-package surface (MicroSeries)\n\n`managed_microsimulation` returns a country-package `Microsimulation` pinned to the certified\nbundle — the required route whenever you want the familiar `.calc()` / MicroSeries analyst\nsurface (`pe.uk.managed_microsimulation()` is the UK twin; kwargs such as `reform=` forward\nto the country package's constructor):\n\n```python\nimport policyengine as pe\n\nsim = pe.us.managed_microsimulation()               # certified default dataset\nsim.policyengine_bundle                             # provenance: model + data release pins\nincome = sim.calc(\"household_net_income\", period=2026, map_to=\"person\")\nincome.mean()          # weighted mean\nincome.median()        # weighted median\nincome.gini()          # weighted Gini\n(income < 30_000).mean()   # weighted share\n```\n\nMicroSeries (from `microdf-python`, still a live dependency of policyengine-us and core)\nembeds survey weights in every operation. Discipline:\n\n- **Never** strip weights: no `np.array(series)`, `.values`, `.to_numpy()`, `.astype(...)`\n  mid-analysis, and never fetch `household_weight`/`person_weight` yourself — `map_to=`\n  handles entity projection and weighting.\n- Weighted stats are the methods themselves: `.sum()`, `.mean()`, `.median()`,\n  `.quantile(q)`, `.gini()`, `.top_x_pct_share(x)`. (`decile_values()` / `percentile()` do\n  not exist.)\n- Don't subtract boolean MicroSeries (numpy ≥2.4 raises `TypeError`): compute\n  `.mean()` rates first, then subtract floats.\n- US `Microsimulation` uses `.calc(...)`; UK uses `.calculate(...)`.\n- Arbitrary dataset URIs require `allow_unmanaged=True` — if you reach for that, you are\n  leaving the certified bundle and should say so in your results.\n\n<!-- stale-ok -->\nDirect `from policyengine_us import Microsimulation` (unmanaged, whatever data it defaults\nto) is **deprecated for analysis** — its default dataset can lag the certified bundle, so\nresults are not provenance-known. It remains fine for country-model development and tests\ninside the model repos. Any population number you report must come through the managed\nsurface above.\n\n## Datasets\n\nCertified defaults resolve automatically — **do not pass raw `hf://` URIs**:\n\n| Name | What | Notes |\n|---|---|---|\n| `populace_us_2024` | US default (Microcosm, ~57k households calibrated to ~30k+ admin targets) | public |\n| `populace_us_2024_acs_local` | US local-area build (~1.6M households, ACS multispine, PUMA-assigned CD-119/county/state) | load **by name** for state/district work; never selected implicitly |\n| `populace_uk_2023` | UK default (Microcosm) | private HF repo — set `HUGGING_FACE_TOKEN` |\n\nThe pre-2026 datasets are gone:\n<!-- stale-ok -->\n`enhanced_cps_2024` and `enhanced_frs_2023_24` are superseded by Microcosm, and the per-area\n<!-- stale-ok -->\nfiles (`hf://policyengine/policyengine-us-data/states/*.h5`, `districts/*.h5`) no longer\nexist — policyengine-us-data is archived. **Local-area analysis = filter one national dataset\nby its geography columns**, never a per-area file. See the policyengine-data skill for how\nMicrocosm is built and calibrated.\n\n## Regional analysis\n\nStates (works on the certified national dataset — it carries `state_fips` / `state_code`):\n\n```python\n# Option A: filter any aggregate (see Aggregate example above).\n# Option B: scope a Simulation to one state's rows.\nfrom policyengine.core import Simulation\nfrom policyengine.core.scoping_strategy import RowFilterStrategy\n\ndatasets = pe.us.ensure_datasets(datasets=[\"populace_us_2024_acs_local\"], years=[2024])\ndataset = datasets[\"populace_us_2024_acs_local_2024\"]\nca = Simulation(\n    dataset=dataset,\n    tax_benefit_model_version=pe.us.model,\n    scoping_strategy=RowFilterStrategy(variable_name=\"state_fips\", variable_value=6),\n)\n# Registry of ready-made state ","tagline":"ALWAYS load this skill before writing any Python that computes taxes, benefits, or policy\nimpacts with PolicyEngine — household calculations, microsimulation, reform scoring, poverty\nor distributional analysis, state/district/constituency breakdowns.\nTriggers: policyengine, micro","category":"data-analysis","tags":["agent-skill"],"author":"PolicyEngine","verified":false,"attribution":{"status":"registry_indexed","statusLabel":"Registry indexed","shortLabel":"REGISTRY INDEXED","sourceLabel":"recursive skill source sync","sourceDetail":"PolicyEngine/policyengine-claude","creatorName":"PolicyEngine","creatorUrl":"https://github.com/PolicyEngine","sourceUrl":"https://github.com/PolicyEngine/policyengine-claude/tree/main/skills/policyengine","indexedBy":"OpenAgentSkill community index","claimUrl":"https://www.openagentskill.com/skills/policyengine-policyengine#claim-this-skill","claimCta":"Claim this skill","trustNote":"This listing was indexed from public sources and is not marked official until a maintainer claim is approved.","publicNote":"Attribution links to the public repository or creator profile.
