But this year Nancy has deserted the house to get married, and Pearl has taken her place... Ray Lawler's brawny canecutters, and their long-standing seasonal romance with two Melbourne barmaids, are now part of Australian legend. Summer of the Seventeenth Doll is one of the pillars of our national theatre; with its premie?re in 1955, it is said Australian playwriting came of age.

Volume 1 is designed to guide future investment in modeling and analysis capability on the part of government agencies that produce policy estimates. It will inform congressional and executive decision makers about the strengths and weaknesses of models and estimates and will interest social scientists in the potential of microsimulation techniques for basic and applied research as well as policy uses. The book concludes that a "second revolution" is needed to improve the quality of microsimulation and other policy analysis models and the estimates they produce, with a special emphasis on systematic validation of models and communication of validation results to decision makers. 606 $aPublic welfare$xDecision making 606 $aSocial policy$xDecision making 606 $aSocial policy$xSimulation methods 606 $aDecision making$xMathematical models 615 0$aPublic welfare$xDecision making. 615 0$aSocial policy$xDecision making. 615 0$aSocial policy$xSimulation methods. 615 0$aDecision making$xMathematical models. 676 $a361.6/1 701 $aCitro$b Constance F$g(Constance Forbes),$f1942-$01804879 701 $aHanushek$b Eric A$g(Eric Alan),$f1943-$0121192 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953639803321 996 $aReview and recommendations$94353145 997 $aUNINA
