Abstract
This study provides a way of calculating confidence intervals for a spatial microsimulation model using estimates of statistical validity calculated from Census data. The calculation of confidence intervals has so far been difficult using spatial microsimulation models, but this paper provides a technique that estimates confidence intervals based on the z statistic published previously. This z statistic uses small area Census data and results from the spatial microsimulation model. An application of the method to estimates of housing stress shows that about 95.7% of SLAs show statistically accurate small area estimates with reasonably narrow confidence intervals.

| Other | The Luxembourg Institute of Socio-economic Research (LISER, anciennement CEPS/INSTEAD) and its Modelling and Simulation Unit are pleased to host the fifth World Congress of the International Microsimulation Association (IMA). After previous World Conferences organised in Vienna (2007), Ottawa (2009), Stockholm (2011) and Canberra (2013), the next IMA general meeting will be held in Esch-sur-Alzette, in the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, on 2-4 September 2015. The purpose of this Congress is to share knowledge and experience in relation to the development and use of microsimulation models. It will be of interest to creators and users of microsimulation models in international organisations, governments, academia and the private sector. |
