The input data for the build process are stored in the build/data/<RIA name> and build/ipm<RIA name>/other_input_data directories. These data include imported IPM results for the baseline and policy scenarios, as well as auxiliary input data.
The baseline scenario data come from the build/data/<RIA name>/baseline directory while the policy scenario data comes from the build/data/<RIA name>/policy directory. The NEEDS data come from the build/data/<RIA name>/other_input_data directory. The auxiliary input data comes from the build/ipm/<RIA name>/other_input_data directory.
The intermediate data are saved in the data/<RIA name> directory in csv/xlsx and rds formats.
