Microsimulation as a modelling tool in social sciences has
increased in importance over the last few decades. Once restricted
to a handful of universities and government departments, as a
scientific field it has achieved a new dynamism during the last
decade. As computing power increases and data availability becomes
more widespread, microsimulation models can be put to hitherto
unprecedented uses. Edited by leading experts in the field, this
book illustrates recent advances, methodologies and uses of
socioeconomic microsimulation in social sciences around the world.
It does so by analysing new grounds covered in microsimulation and
exploring new applications in traditional fields. As such, the
chapters - grouped into five sections: new methods and methodology;
pensions; financial crisis and austerity measures; health; and
poverty - present recent, innovative and challenging work in
various fields that is not just relevant for those in that field,
but that might also inspire scholars from the other disciplines to
broaden their minds to new and exciting uses of this established
methodology.
