Description :
Synthetic population techniques are used as a viable alternative to the collection of microdata that are normally inaccessible. The two most widely discussed synthetic techniques are described and then evaluated in terms of their ability to recreate a known population of firms. Testing synthetic population against a known population is seldom done. The case presented here uses a small, complete population of firms for the City of Hamilton, Ontario.
