RiskPaths

RiskPaths is a simple, competing risk, case-based continuous time microsimulation model developed originally to study fertility change in post-transition Russia and Bulgaria.

Its main use is as a teaching tool, e.g. in courses at the European Doctoral School for Demography. It demonstrates what microsimulation can add to event history analysis and how demographic microsimulation models can be efficiently programmed using Modgen. RiskPaths has also served so far as a template for two other extended microsimulation studies in France and Canada.
