Both variables declare CPI uprating, but were absent from `uprating_indices.yaml`, so they returned identical values in every year while every other consumption variable on the same index rose. This also restores the documented identity `domestic_energy_consumption == electricity_consumption + gas_consumption`, which held in the base year but diverged thereafter because only the combined variable was uprated. diff --git a/policyengine_uk/data/uprating_indices.yaml b/policyengine_uk/data/uprating_indices.yaml index 1c2f83d85b..ff0352ccdb 100644 --- a/policyengine_uk/data/uprating_indices.yaml +++ b/policyengine_uk/data/uprating_indices.yaml @@ -18,12 +18,14 @@ gov.economic_assumptions.yoy_growth.obr.consumer_price_index: - communication_consumption - domestic_energy_consumption - education_consumption +- electricity_consumption - esa_contrib_reported - esa_income_reported - food_and_non_alcoholic_beverages_consumption - free_school_fruit_veg - free_school_meals - free_school_milk +- gas_consumption - health_consumption - household_furnishings_consumption - housing_benefit_reported
