I’ve taken the data from the Public Pension Database and put it on kaggle – while I hope this will get a few other people dipping into this data, it’s more that I can put together some notebooks that others can get and look at….using tools a bit cooler...
Happy Halloween! Some Scary Public Pension Projections
by meep
Do you want to see something really scary?
I have updated my public pension cash flow projection spreadsheet. You can get a copy of the latest version here.
