I added @Atanceplus BRA files to this PSL repository and made sure to change all the occurrences of PHL, phl, and phillipines to BRA, bra, and Brazil.

+## Fertility rates
+
+   Our data for Brazil fertility rates by age come from United Nations fertility rate data for a country for some range of years (at least one year) and by age. The `country_id=608` is for the Brazil. These data come from the United Nations Data Portal API for UN population data (see https://population.un.org/dataportal/about/dataapi). The UN variable code for Population by 1-year age groups and sex is "47" and that for Fertility rates by age of mother (1-year) is "68".


For Brazil, we should have country_id=076

+# Lifetime Earnings Profiles
+
+Among households in `OG-BRA`, we model variations in the labor productivity over the lifecycle and between households of different skill groups. Together, these variations in productivity generate a distribution of earnings that is calibrated to match the level of inequality in the Brazil. This chapter describes the calibration of the lifecycle earnings profiles and the distribution of earnings in the model.

+# Exogenous Parameters
+
+
+  The JSON file [`ogbra_default_parameters.json`](https://github.com/EAPD-DRB/OG-BRA/blob/master/ogbra/ogbra_default_parameters.json) provides values for all the model parameters used as defaults for `OG-BRA`. Below, we provide a table highlighting some of the parameters describing the scale of the model (number of periods, aged, productivity types) and some parameters of the solution method (dampening parameter for TPI). The table below provides a list of the exogenous parameters and their baseline calibration values.

+
+## Economic Assumptions
+
+As the default rate of labor augmenting technological change, $g_y$, we use a value of 3.6%.  The average annual growth rate in GDP per capita in the Brazil between 2000 and 2019 is 3.6% per year.

+## Calculating UBI
+
+  We calculate the time series of UBI household transfers in model units $ubi_{j,s,t)}$ and the time series of total UBI expenditures in model units $UBI_t$ from five parameters described in the [`ogbra_default_parameters.json`](https://github.com/EAPD-DRB/OG-BRA/blob/master/ogbra/ogbra_default_parameters.json) file (`ubi_growthadj`, `ubi_nom_017`, `ubi_nom_1864`, `ubi_nom_65p`, and `ubi_nom_max`) interfaced with the `OG-BRA` demographic dynamics over lifetime income groups $j$ and ages $s$, and multiplied by household composition matrices from the `Calibrate` class of the `OG-BRA/ogbra/calibrate.py` module in the repository.

+[`OG-BRA`](https://github.com/EAPD-DRB/OG-BRA) is a Python package that provides code and data to calibrate an overlapping-generations (OG) model to the economy of the Brazil (BRA), the code of which is hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/EAPD-DRB/OG-BRA. `OG-BRA` uses as a dependency the [`OG-Core`](https://pslmodels.github.io/OG-Core/) package, which contains the core theory and logic of a general OG model. The `OG-BRA` calibration package and the `OG-Core` theory and logic make the model that allows for dynamic general equilibrium analysis of federal fiscal policy in the Republic of the Brazil. The model output focuses on changes in macroeconomic aggregates (GDP, investment, consumption), wages, interest rates, and the stream of tax revenues over time. This documentation of the `OG-BRA` package contains the following major sections, which are regularly updated.

+The model is continuously under development. Users will be notified through [closed PR threads](https://github.com/EAPD-DRB/OG-BRA/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed) and through the [release notes](https://github.com/EAPD-DRB/OG-BRA/releases) what changes have been implemented. The package will have released versions, which will be checked against existing code prior to release. Stay tuned for an upcoming release!

@markdebacker I've reviewed this and left comments for the changes I'd like to see before this PR is ready to merge.

We'll note that there is still more substantive work to do after this PR, but addressing the comments will help lay a good foundation for that later work.
