Microsimulation and Policy Analysis [PDF]
, 2015 We provide an overview of microsimulation approaches for assessing the effects of policy on income distribution. We focus on the role of tax-benefit policies and review the concept of microsimulation and how it contributes to the analysis of income distribution in general and policy evaluation in particular.

Microsimulation Modeling in Oncology
JCO Clinical Cancer Informatics, 2018 Purpose Microsimulation is a modeling technique that uses a sample size of individual units (microunits), each with a unique set of attributes, and allows for the simulation of downstream events on the basis of predefined states and transition probabilities between those states over time.

Microsimulation of the Firm and the Economy [PDF]
Simulation & Gaming, 1997 The article presents a microsimulation model of firm behavior in an economy-wide setting. A combination of microsimulation and general equilibrium modelling approaches is proposed as an alternative research method to incorporate typical industrial organization issues into economy-wide modelling. The article centers around an application that uses Dutch

Bayesian Calibration of Microsimulation Models [PDF]
Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2009 Microsimulation models that describe disease processes synthesize information from multiple sources and can be used to estimate the effects of screening and treatment on cancer incidence and mortality at a population level. These models are characterized by simulation of individual event histories for an idealized population of interest ...

Early‐stage health technology assessment of a curative gene therapy for multiple sclerosis
British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.Aims Multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with significant early morbidity, reduced life expectancy and substantial healthcare and societal costs. The primary objective of this study is to assess the early cost‐effectiveness potential of a novel gene therapy, IMMUTOL, for MS compared with current high‐efficacy treatment sequences.
