It is the contention of this paper that the development of Australian microanalytic simulation models will offer an especially useful tool For analyzing the effects of retirement income policy on the economic situation of the aged. In contrast to the contemporary practice of casting the impacts of policy in aggregate terms, microanalytic simulation generates data that permit addressing the more central questions of the size and distribution of retirement income. This paper describes microanalytic simulation and illustrates its application to the retirement income policy domain.
