Most existing microsimulation models have been developed by separate (teams of) researchers. The drawback of each team … tools. Hence, economies of scale cannot be exploited, which makes microsimulation models even more expensive than strictly … development of discrete-time dynamic models. It is meant to make microsimulation models much easier to develop. This paper makes a …
