%X English Microsimulation is well known as a tool for static analysis of tax andtransfer policies, for the generation of programmic cost estimates, and dynamic analyses of socio-economic and demographic systems. However, microsimulation also has the potential to contribute tolongitudinal data analysis in several ways, including extending the range of outputs generated by amodel, addressing several defective-data problems, and serving as a vehicle for missing-dataimputation. This paper discusses microsimulation procedures suitable for several commonly-usedstatistical models appliled to longitudinal data. It also addresses the unique role that can be playedby microsimulation in longitudinal data analysis, and the problem of accounting for the severalsources of variability associated with microsimulation procedures. French La micro-simulation est bien connu comme un outil pour l'analyse statique despolitiques d'imp ts et de transfert, pour l¡¯estimation des co ts des programmes,et pour l¡¯analyse dynamique des syst¨¨mes socio-¨¦conomiques etd¨¦mographiques. Cependant, le micro-simulation offre ¨¦galement despossibilit¨¦s int¨¦ressantes pour l'analyse de donn¨¦es longitudinale, y compris led¨¦veloppement d¡¯autres produites du mod¨¨le, la possibilit¨¦ d¡¯adresser desprobl¨¨mes de donn¨¦es d¨¦ficientes, et comme v¨¦hicule pour l'imputation dedonn¨¦es manquantes. Cet article discute des proc¨¦dures de micro-simulationappropri¨¦es ¨¤ plusieurs mod¨¨les statistiques qui utilisent des donn¨¦eslongitudinales. Il adresse ¨¦galement le r le unique qui peut ¨ºtre jou¨¦ parla micro-simulation dans l'analyse de donn¨¦es longitudinale, et le probl¨¨me pos¨¦par les multiples sources de variabilit¨¦ dans les proc¨¦dures de micro-simulation.
