Future Elderly Model data for COVID-19 excess mortality study

This file is an input data file needed to run the Future Elderly Model (FEM), a microsimulation developed and maintained by the Roybal Center for Health Policy Simulation within the Leonard D. Schaeffer Center for Health Policy and Economics at the University of Southern California. Specifically, it is provided to replicate analyses in publication: Reif J, Heun-Johnson H, Tysinger B, Lakdawalla D. Measuring the COVID-19 mortality burden in the United States: A microsimulation study. Ann Intern Med. 21 September 2021. [Epub ahead of print]. doi:10.7326/M21-2239. For more information, please refer to the Microsimulation website.

Programs to run FAM and FEM microsimulations for this project are publicly available from our Subversion repository at https://schweb.lahrc.lahealthresearchcloud.org/svn/AIM_covid/
