JAMSIM (JAva MicroSIMulation) is an innovative synthesis of open source packages that provides an environment and set … of features for the creation of dynamic discrete-time microsimulation models that are to be executed, manipulated and … modification. Here we describe microsimulation, our functional requirements, a review of tools used by other micro-simulators and …

While static microsimulation models of the tax-transfer system are now available throughout the developed world, health … microsimulation models are much rarer. This is, at least in part, due to the difficulties in creating adequate base micro …-datasets upon which the microsimulation models can be constructed. In sharp contrast to tax-transfer modelling, no readily available …
