A central problem of any dynamic microsimulation project is the estimation of the transition probabilities of existing states of the simulated units to subsequent states. In addition to the statistical modeling, the problem consists mainly in obtaining the necessary data for the numerous estimates (Li, O'Donoghue and Dekkers, 2014). This subproject is designed to identify, document, estimate and calibrate parameters, and to explore the perspectives of dynamic models in this specific microsimulation context. Almost every aspect of this project has a comprehensive literature (recent reviews: O'Donoghue (2014), Lovelace and Dumont (2016), and Rahman and Harding (2016)), which can not be reviewed here. Therefore, only the problems and proposed solutions directly relevant to the work program will be outlined.
