Go to PENSIM input parameters overview
PENSIM: ITNOF . id
Identifies behavioral parameters that can vary across calendar years, so more than one row can have the same id value.
Valid values: 1 to 999999999, Integer
PENSIM: ITNOF . notes
Describes specification of table row in free-form note.
Valid values: any ASCII text, Memo (Note: do not copy and paste from a word processor because of the possibility of embedded non-ASCII characters.
PENSIM: ITNOF . cal_year
Calendar year for which behavioral parameter values apply.
Valid values: 2004 to LAST, Integer where LAST is cohort birth year plus 134 years
PENSIM: ITNOF . eitc_c
Probability of filing an income tax return when a tax unit is eligible to receive a positive EITC amount is a linear function of the ratio of the tax unit's EITC credit amount and the SSA average wage index (AWI) in that year. The linear probability function is eitc_c + eitc_s*100*R, where R denotes the tax unit's EITC-to-AWI ratio.
Valid values: -10.0 to 10.0, Real
PENSIM: ITNOF . eitc_s
Probability of filing an income tax return when a tax unit is eligible to receive a positive EITC amount is a linear function of the ratio of the tax unit's EITC credit amount and the SSA average wage index (AWI) in that year. The linear probability function is eitc_c + eitc_s*100*R, where R denotes the tax unit's EITC-to-AWI ratio.
Valid values: -10.0 to 10.0, Real
PENSIM: ITNOF . other_c
Probability of filing an income tax return when a tax unit is not eligible to receive a positive EITC amount is a linear function of the tax unit's AGI-to-standard-deduction ratio. The linear probability function is c + (1-c)*R, where R denotes the tax unit's AGI-to-standard-deduction ratio and c denotes the value of this other_c parameter.
Valid values: 0.0 to 1.0, Real
