The ZEW Combined Microsimulation-CGE Model: Innovative Tool for Applied Policy Analysis

Policy analysis through microsimulation: the STATS model.

This article gives a nontechnical introduction to a microsimulation model developed by the Social Security Administration to consider the effects of tax and benefit proposals on the economic status of population groups. This model, the Simulated Tax and Transfer System (STATS) model, uses information from a nationally representative survey of households to calculate taxes or benefits for thousa...

JAMSIM: a Microsimulation Modelling Policy Tool

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 interrogated by non-technical, policy-oriented users. JAMSIM combines the leading open source statistical package R and one of the foremost agentbased modelling ...

FiFoSiM - An Integrated Tax Benefit Microsimulation and CGE Model for Germany

This paper describes FiFoSiM, the integrated tax benefit microsimulation and computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the Center of Public Economics at the University of Cologne. FiFoSiM consists of three main parts. The first part is a static tax benefit microsimulation module. The second part adds a behavioural component to the model: an econometrically estimated labour supply model. The...
