Syntax

P = PolicyInSystem(System)

Description

example

P = PolicyInSystem(System) create a class array with the policies defined in a tax-benefit System model.

This class contains the policy rules implemented in a EUROMOD specific tax-benefit system. The class elements can be accessed by indexing the class array with an integer, or a string value of any class property (e.g. name, ID, order, etc.).

This class is stored in the property policies of the System class.

This class stores classes of type FunctionInSystem and Extension.

This class inherits methods and properties from the superclass Policy.
