    Simulatiemodellen: instrumenten voor sociaal-economisch onderzoek en beleid

    Authors: ,

Abstract

In recent years simulation models are increasingly used in research on socio-economic policy, particularly in studies of taxes and social benefits. In this article we present two types of simulation models: the standard simulation model and the micro simulation model. Both models are micro models, meaning that they assess the structure and impact of social and economic policy measures for an individual decision unit (individuals, households and enterprises). We discuss the particularities of both models, point out that they are fully complementary and illustrate them with analyses of Belgian taxation and social contributions.
