Abstract:

"This paper addresses the issue of choosing the most appropriate approach to regional demographic-economic modeling by emphasizing once again the severe limitations of group-based macro models for representing population behavior, advocating instead the use of sample-based micro models for representing population behavior and suggesting that a linked macro/micro strategy for modeling demographic-economic interactions might combine the advantages of both modeling methodologies."
