Modelling migration is fundamentally important to maintaining the appropriate population structure in a dynamic microsimulation model. It is particularly important as it is faster changing than other demographic processes such as fertility and mortality and so can impact upon the structure of...

This paper describes a flexible computing framework designed to create a dynamic microsimulation model, the Life-cycle Income Analysis Model (LIAM). The principle computing characteristics include the degree of modularisation, parameterisation, generalisation and robustness. The paper describes...

Spatial microsimulation modelling has developed for over a half century and is now a mainstream analytical tool within the microsimulation community accounting for a very significant proportion of papers at conferences and within the journal. There have been a number of recent surveys of...

The new relational geography challenges notions of inherently coherent, integrated ‘territory-based’ systems of relations. This paper uses network methods and correspondence analysis to try and describe some of the spatial differentiation and relational dynamics at three different rural...
