Support of Statistics Austria in the Development of a Dynamic Microsimulation Model for Regional Population Projections

The common goal is to develop a microsimulation model that can be used operationally for the purpose of regionalised population forecasts and that includes the characteristics age, gender, region and at least two other individual characteristics. Technical assistance includes: (1) consulting on model architecture and design as well as software solutions, (2) development of model prototypes, (3) training of staff, (4) support in code development, statistical modelling, model parameterisation, validation, and debugging, (5) support in development of model documentation, and (6) support in model use, development of scenarios, and preparation of simulation results.
