Projection and Alignment Methods for Static Microsimulation Models
Presentation
Presentation by Kevin Perese, an analyst for CBO’s Tax Analysis Division, at the Association for Public Policy & Management’s 2016 Fall Research Conference, Pre-Conference Workshop on Microsimulation Modeling
As developmental work for analysis for the Congress, CBO is reexamining the projection and alignment methodology used in its individual income tax microsimulation model. The presentation provides an overview of CBO’s current projection and alignment methodology, surveys the methodologies used in other static microsimulation models, and considers the criteria CBO will use when updating its current methodology.
The information in this presentation is preliminary and is being circulated to stimulate discussion and critical comment.
