Using Microsimulation to Help Design Pilot Demonstrations: An Illustration from the Canadian Self-Sufficiency Project.

Greenberg, David H.; And Others

Evaluation Review, v19 n6 p687-706 Dec 1995

This article describes how microsimulation analysis was used to help design a social experiment in two Canadian provinces.
