Life-Cycle Microsimulation Modelling - Constructing and Using Dynamic Microsimulation Models

This book is the outcome of 15 years of research developing dynamic microsimulation models (DMMs) and using them for analysis. It describes some of the issues in developing a dynamic microsimulation model with applicability for multiple purposes. It outlines a number of methods for dealing with some of the difficult issues in building these models and has a range of applications using different versions of model. The book is aimed at both practitioners and students in the fields of microsimulation and tax and social policy analysis.
