# Publications
The following list contains contributions which apply the microWELT or the microDEMS model. MicroWELT is a portable continuous-time interacting population model based on readily available data for many countries. Its sister model, microDEMS, is a refined Austrian version built on the same platform but based on detailed longitudinal administrative records.
