This thesis outlines the contribution I have made to microsimulation modelling of economic, health economic and health outcomes. I do this by outlining, in Section 2, the background context between the 1980s and 2000s from which my work emerged and within which I made my initial contribution to the field. The final three sections examine the underpinning research from three recent publications that assess the impact post-Financial Crisis era interventions and potential interventions. The first report forecasts the impact of the Scottish Government’s Child Poverty Plan. The second report assesses the impact of policy for care leavers in England. The final report, which summarises development of the TriplePC online simulation as part of a broader NIHR-funded tranche of research on the impact of basic income on poverty, inequality and health.
