Projections Using a Static Spatial Microsimulation Model

摘要: As spatial microsimulation techniques derive estimates of socio-economic variables for local areas, there may also be a need to project these into the future. The issue is that deriving projections small areas can difficult due high rates migration between areas. This chapter describes several projection methods applied model area future without introducing more complex dynamic technique. These include inflating microdata weights, projecting benchmark tables using regression and by other means. Some consideration given cost complexity each method. Finally, this looks at strength weaknesses methodology.
