The bunchr package is meant to help analyze bunching. Given a vector
of earnings (or any other numeric vector), it creates a counter-factual
count histogram and calculates the compensated elasticity of earnings w.r.t.
the net-of-tax rate.
bunchr has three main functions:
bunchis the main function running the actual analysis.
bunch_viewerserves as an aid to the second by visualizing some of the user-specified options without running an analysis. Use it to see what the histogram of your earnings vector looks like when setting specific bin size, where the counter-factual analysis should be done, and the bounds of the excluded area. You can also save the histogram bins and counts.
bunchAppis an interactive simulator. Use it to explore bunching simulation and estimation of earning elasticity.
