Article history: Received 9 September 2015 Received in revised form 20 May 2016 Accepted 15 June 2016 Available online xxxx A wide range of user groups from policy makers to media commentators demand ever more spatially detailed information yet the desired data are often not available at fine spatial scales. Increasingly, small area estimation (SAE) techniques are called upon to fill in these i...

We report on a microsimulation model under development whose purpose it is to construct scenarios for the assessment of a novel wastewater management technology: the separate collection, transport, and handling of human urine. Levelling the urine flow to the treatment plant or removing it from conventional treatment altogether has many benefits for wastewater management. For an effective techno...

The only available answer to this question — from a 2011 study by Butrica and Johnson that uses the Urban Institute DYNASIM microsimulation model — is that after-tax per-adult family income at age seventy will rise on average by three to five percent after a lifetime of experience with automatic IRAs. And the average percentage rise would be from six to twelve percent for those in the bottom ha...

This article develops an approach that extends the methods that simulate individual pathways and describe and explain the population distribution of individual pathways. Conventional microsimulation often bases on static models, ignores its randomness, and fails to provide the sampling distribution of simulated individual pathways. Our approach uses dynamic modeling, corrects for the randomness...
