Description

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.

It should be widely cited because it covers a broad range of model-building and model-using issues, and widely consulted, because it is so clearly written." --Journal of the American Statistical Association
