สรุป	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.	Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) is a mathematical and computational framework for finding solutions that simultaneously optimize two or more conflicting objective functions. Rather than collapsing all goals into a single scalar, MOO produces a set of trade-off solutions — the Pareto front — from which a decision-maker selects according to preference. It is widely used in engineering design, operations research, logistics, economics, and policy analysis.
