Mircrosimulation models (MSM) and Computable General Equilibrium models (CGE) have both been widely used in policy analysis. The combination of these two model types allows the utilisation of the advantages of both types. The aim of this paper is to describe the state-of-the-art in simulation...

This paper combines the theoretical cognition of welfare measurement with the technique of microsimulation allowing to quantify the welfare eÞects and the excess burden of tax systems and tax reforms. The newly developed microsimulation module is applied on several flat tax reform scenarios...
