Title: A methodological survey of dynamic microsimulation models
Abstract: More than 10 years ago O'Donoghue (2001) surveyed the dynamic 
	 microsimulation models that had been developed up to that point. However 
	 the 2000's have seen many of the barriers that existed for model 
	 development up until that point overcome. This paper surveys the 
	 development and practices in dynamic microsimulation over the past 
	 decade, and discusses the methodological challenges today. The paper 
	 provides an overview of the methodological choices made in more than 60 
	 known dynamic microsimulation models and examines the advantages and 
	 disadvantages of different practices. In addition, this paper reviews 
	 the main progress made in the field and explores how future 
	 microsimulation models could evolve.
