This volume takes stock of the state of microsimulation models for analyzing tax and transfer programs by looking carefully at TRIM2, DYNASIM2, MAPSIT, PRISM, and MDM (some of the most prominent models in use by both U.S. and Canadian government policy offices today). Several examples of recent applications of these and other models are presented. The authors then address important issues in the development and use of microsimulation modeling. An excellent introduction for the reader interested in learning about the subject and a thorough reference work for the experienced analyst and programm

This book gives an overview of the state of the art in five different approaches to social science simulation on the individual level. The volume contains microanalytical simulation models designed for policy implementation and evaluation, multilevel simulation methods designed for detecting emergent phenomena, dynamical game theory applications, the use of cellular automata to explain the emergence of structure in social systems, and multi-agent models using the experience from distributed artificial intelligence applied to special phenomena. The book collects the results of an international

This volume, second in the series, provides essential background material for policy analysts, researchers, statisticians, and others interested in the application of microsimulation techniques to develop estimates of the costs and population impacts of proposed changes in government policies, ranging from welfare to retirement income to health care to taxes. The material spans data inputs to models, design and computer implementation of models, validation of model outputs, and model documentation.
