No 14211, Working Papers from Congressional Budget Office

Abstract: In dynamic microsimulation models, the process of determining who marries whom in the annual marriage market has important implications for numerous other processes modeled. There are two broad methodologies used in most microsimulation models to match individuals with each other–a stable marriage algorithm approach or a stochastic framework approach. This paper reviews those two approaches and summarizes the mate-matching techniques used in other dynamic microsimulation models. Building upon the methods used in other models, this paper presents an extension to the
