FUTURE COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS FOR MICROSIMULATION MODELING 230 allow aging components to be implemented in such a way that static, dynamic, and mixed models could be implemented within the same software system framework for performing microanalytic simulation experiments. This issue should receive attention, and results should be used in the specification of the next-generation software construction recommended above. Discussion of the issues raised in this chapter represents only a beginning, although it may be a sufficient beginning toward understanding some of the issues involved in strategic planning for future microanalytic simulation systems. The above recommendations are among the most important that we wish to make. Beyond these primary conclusions, there are a variety of further implications that we could draw from our discussion and analysis of issues presented above and that merit further analysis. We believe that the issues involved are sufficiently important to merit further work, and we look forward to its continuation by parties interested in all aspects of the field.

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.
