This paper presents a day-to-day re-routing relaxation approach for tra c simulations. Starting from an initial planset for the routes, the route-based microsimulation is executed. The result of the microsimulation is fed into a rerouter, which re-routes a certain percentage of all trips. This approach makes the tra c patterns in the microsimulation much more reasonable. Further, it is shown th...

The assumption behind discrete hours labour supply modelling is that utility-maximising individuals choose from a relatively small number of hours levels, rather than being able to vary hours worked continuously. Such models are becoming widely used in view of their substantial advantages, compared with a continuous hours approach, when estimating and their role in tax policy microsimulation. T...

There have been significant recent advances in the estimation of labour supply models. Here the hours continuum is split into a number of discrete options and the preferred choice obtained as the solution to a constrained utility maximisation problem. However, the underlying probabilities of an individual being in a particular hours state, are assumed to be those given by standard Logit-type on...

Investors use different approaches to select optimal portfolio. so, Optimal investment choices according to return can be interpreted in different models. The traditional approach to allocate portfolio selection called a mean - variance explains. Another approach is Markov chain. Markov chain is a random process without memory. This means that the conditional probability distribution of the nex...

Documentation IZAΨMOD: The IZA Policy SImulation MODel This paper describes IZAΨMOD, the policy microsimulation model of the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA). The model uses household microdata from the German SocioEconomic Panel Study and firm data from the German linked employer-employee dataset LIAB. IZAΨMOD consists of three components: First, a static module simulates the effects of ...

This report presents Aspen. Sandia National Laboratories is developing this new agentbased macroeconomic simulation model of the U.S. economy. The model is notable because it allows a large number of individual economic agents to be modeled at a high level of detail and with a great degree of freedom. Some features of Aspen are (a) a sophisticated message-passing system that allows individual p...

A Continuous Labour Supply Model in Microsimulation: A Life-Cycle Modelling Approach with Heterogeneity and Uncertainty Extension This paper advances a structural inter-temporal model of labour supply that is able to simulate the dynamics of labour supply in a continuous setting and to circumvent two main drawbacks of most of the existing models. The first limitation is the inability to incorpo...

conclusions the use of sof + pr regimen or ldv/sof can significantly reduce the incidence of complications associated with the disease. for example, short and long-term outcomes are better than the current drug regimens for hcv genotype 1 patients in all stages of the disease. objectives this study is aimed to assess the cost-effectiveness of the three drug regimens of pegylated interferon and ...

in this paper, first a great number of inverse problems which arise in instrumentation, in computer imaging systems and in computer vision are presented. then a common general forward modeling for them is given and the corresponding inversion problem is presented. then, after showing the inadequacy of the classical analytical and least square methods for these ill posed inverse problems, a baye...
