... is another static microsimulation model that has been used for policy analysis in the income support and tax areas. All three models fall into the class of "static" microsimuladon models that is, models that operate on a cross-sectional basis and make projections to future years using procedures for reweighting, or "aging," their database to match outside projections of selected characteristics such as the demographic and labor force composition of the population.]
