微观模拟模型涉及对微观数据应用模拟方法，目的是评估有效性和改进公共政策的设计。这一领域已经存在了50多年，并被应用于许多不同的政策领域，是政府和学术界都采用的一种方法。这本手册汇集了该领域的主要作者来描述和讨论该领域内的主要当前问题。该手册概述了微观模拟模型各个子领域的当前发展情况，如税收优惠、养老金、空间、卫生、劳工、消费、运输和土地利用政策以及宏观、微观、环境和人口问题。它还侧重于对不同的微观单位进行建模，如家庭、公司和农场。每一章都在以下标题下讨论其子领域：子领域的主要方法；该领域的文献综述；文献评论；并提出子领域内未来的研究方向。
Microsimulation Modelling involves the application of simulation methods to micro data for the purposes of evaluating the effectiveness and improving the design of public policy. The field has existed for over 50 years and has been applied to many different policy areas and is a methodology that is applied within both government and academia. This handbook brings together leading authors in the field to describe and discuss the main current issues within the field. The handbook provides an overview of current developments across each of the sub-fields of microsimulation modelling such as tax-benefit, pensions, spatial, health, labour, consumption, transport and land use policy as well as macro-micro, environmental and demographic issues. It focuses also on the modelling different micro units such as households, firms and farms. Each chapter discusses its sub-field under the following headings: the main methodologies of the sub-field; survey the literature in the area; critique the literature; and propose future directions for research within the sub-field.
