Abstract

Microsimulation models can be used with various types of datasets, including the synthetic data constructed based on a number of simple assumptions. Models based on hypothetical data offer useful insights despite their simplicity. In fact, their usefulness stems largely from the simplicity of the approach as it avoids the population complexity. In this chapter we review the development of microsimulation models using hypothetical data.
