Glossary Term

Microsimulation

Microsimulation is a modeling technique that uses individual-level data to simulate how policies or changes affect people, households, or firms over time. It allows researchers to estimate the distributional effects of policies, such as tax changes or health insurance reforms. RTI uses microsimulation to provide detailed insights into how programs affect different population groups.
