Chapter Chapter 4 in Microsimulation and Population Dynamics, 2017, pp 99-130 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The models developed in the three previous chapters are “cohort” models, in which all the actors in the simulation are born at the same time. This cohort approach is the principle behind life tables. Although this type of modelling is interesting and very useful for analytical purposes, it cannot be used for simulating real populations exposed to the full range of demographic forces such as immigration and fertility.
