Transfer Income Model 2 (TRIM2) TRIM2 is a static model of government tax and transfer programs, including AFDC, SSI, food stamps, school nutrition programs, Medicare, employer-sponsored health insurance, Medicaid, federal income taxes, state income taxes, and social security payroll taxes. The original TRIM was developed by the Urban Institute in the early 1970s; see Webb et al. (1982) and Webb et al. (1986).

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.
