Based on a representative data set of more than 36,000 original tax report extracts, we develop a microsimulation model that calculates the fiscal impact of changes in the area of tax deductible work-related expenses, in particular expenses for travelling from private home to the place of work, in Germany. The new model allows a more accurate estimation of the fiscal impact of changes in the Ge...

The paper describes stage 1 of the development of a Health Module to a dynamic microsimulation model which simulates individuals’ life cycles. The life cycle approach has been shown in the literature to be important when studying health inequalities. The enhanced model accounts for the links between Australians' socioeconomic status and their health. The full model, which is able to project 20 ...

Modelling and simulating the traffic of heavily used but secure environments such as seaports and airports is of increasing importance. This paper discusses issues and problems that may arise when extending an existing microsimulation strategy. This paper discusses the simulations and how extensions of these simulations can aid planners with optimal physical and operational feedback. Conclusion...

Iterative transportation microsimulations adjust traveler route plans by iterating between a microsimulation and a route planner. At each iteration, the route planner adjusts individuals’ route choices based on the preceding microsimulations. Empirically, this process yields good results, but it is usually unclear when to stop the iterative process when modeling real-world traffic. This paper i...
