Summary

  • Add data exploration notebook for Louisiana dataset (household counts, income distribution, demographics)
  • Add tax reform analysis notebook comparing prior law to current law for LA's tax reform package:
    • Enable Louisiana standard deduction
    • Double retirement income exemption bracket 2 ($6k -> $12k)
    • Enable flat income tax rate

Test plan

  • Run data_exploration.ipynb to verify LA dataset loads and metrics are reasonable
  • Run la_tax_reform_analysis.ipynb to verify reform analysis produces sensible revenue/distributional results

This adds two notebooks for Louisiana:

1. data_exploration.ipynb - Explores the LA dataset including:
   - Household and person counts (weighted)
   - Income distribution (median, percentiles, max AGI)
   - Households with children breakdown
   - Children by age groups
   - Income bracket analysis

2. la_tax_reform_analysis.ipynb - Analyzes LA tax reform impact:
   - Standard deduction enabled (false -> true)
   - Retirement exemption bracket 2 doubled ($6k -> $12k)
   - Flat income tax rate enabled (false -> true)

   Includes revenue impact, winners/losers analysis, poverty
   impact (overall and child), and distributional analysis by
   income bracket.
