From page 199...
... The demand for such models arises mainly from real world issues of substance, policy, and administration. The supply of such models is limited by the amount of substantive knowledge available for model construction and the ability to construct computer-based systems that support model construction and execution in an affordable and easy-to-use manner.s2 Nature of the Demand for Microanalytic Simulation Models Understanding the nature of the demand for microsimulation modeling techniques requires an understanding of the context in which such models are used and the services they perform.
