Description
Microsimulation and Population Dynamics: An Introduction to Modgen 12 (PDF) serves as an essential guide to understanding microsimulation within the field of demography. Crafted for both novices and experienced professionals, this comprehensive resource provides a thorough, step-by-step introduction to utilizing Modgen, a powerful and free microsimulation tool developed by Statistics Canada.
Within this ebook, readers will benefit from the authors’ practical and hands-on approach to model development, equipping them with the skills needed to create their own simulation models. The content begins by teaching how to construct and operate a straightforward cohort model featuring a single fixed-rate event, building upon this foundational concept throughout the text.
The book delves into the intricacies of developing life tables, presenting strategies for both single state life tables and multiple increment-decrement life tables by leveraging various functionalities offered by Modgen. Moreover, the authors provide insightful tips on how to seamlessly enhance existing models by incorporating new modules and tapping into additional dimensions that influence pre-existing risk factors.
Key features introduced in this ebook include a fertility module that allows users to integrate new demographic actors into the simulation, effectively transforming a cohort-based model into a more encompassing population-based framework. Additionally, the integration of an international migration module empowers users to conduct fully open, multi-regional projections, thus expanding the scope of their analyses.
This informative introduction is not only tailored to students and researchers in population studies but also captivates anyone fascinated by the computational modeling of population dynamics. Whether you are working on academic research or simply exploring the field, this book serves as a vital resource.
