Résumé	Multi-objective microsimulation extends the classic microsimulation framework by simultaneously tracking and optimizing several competing policy objectives — such as efficiency, equity, fiscal cost, and social welfare — across a heterogeneous population of individual units. It produces a Pareto frontier of policy options rather than a single recommended solution, enabling transparent tradeoff analysis for complex policy decisions.	Agent-based microsimulation (ABMS) merges traditional microsimulation's individual-level statistical tracking with agent-based modeling's behavioral rules and interaction mechanisms. It creates virtual populations of heterogeneous agents who evolve over time according to transition probabilities, adaptive behaviors, and social interactions, producing emergent system-level outcomes from micro-level dynamics.
