MIMOSI; micro simulation model for purchasing power, labour costs, social security and income taxation.
Since the summer of 2007, CPB Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis has employed the MIMOSI micro simulation system for forecasts and analyses in the related fields of purchasing power, labour costs, social security and income taxation.
This document describes the main features of the MIMOSI micro simulation system. The role of micro simulation is discussed as well as the nature of micro simulation with MIMOSI and the micro data on which MIMOSI is built. Additionally, the way in which MIMOSI operates is discussed and illustrated by presenting the results of ten experiments analysed using MIMOSI.
