The sample data on migration between Spain, Sweden and the Netherlands were prepared by Claudio Bosco (European Commission), Daniela Ghio (European Commission), Maurizio Teobaldelli (European Commission) and Sabine Zinn (German Socio-Economic Panel, Humboldt University Berlin). EUROSTAT data were used as the data source. The sample was intentionally kept small. MicSim can also handle larger numbers of cases, but to be efficient in terms of run times, this requires a bit more computing power with more CPUs.
