In the microsimulation literature, it is still uncommon to test the statistical significance of results. In this paper … we argue that this situation is both undesirable and unnecessary. Provided the parameters used in the microsimulation are … exogenous, as is often the case in static microsimulation of the first-order effects of policy changes, simple statistical tests …

representativeness from the point of view of microsimulation analysis. We find important discrepancies between the data weighted with … the point of view of the accuracy of microsimulation results and we show that using a combination of demographic … calibration targets with several economic status variables or tax identifiers from the microsimulation model substantially …

This paper provides an account of the construction of a tax-benefit microsimulation model for Namibia (NAMOD) which is …

Equilibrium (CGE) model with a microsimulation framework that exploits the rich detail of household-level data. The results …
