Labour Economics and Social Policy: Technical Papers
These research papers explore the technical aspects of behavioural microsimulation modelling with the Melbourne Institute Tax and Transfer Simulator (MITTS).
They provide information on the underlying assumptions and mechanics of the modelling, in contrast with the MITTS policy papers, which focus primarily on the outcome of the modelling.
