Dieser Aufsatz beschreibt neuere Entwicklungen in der Aggregationstheorie sowie ausgewählte empirische Arbeiten. Diese stellen exemplarisch dar, wie die Mikroökonometrie eingesetzt werden kann, um Aggregationsprobleme zu untersuchen und approximative Lösungen zu finden. Der Schwerpunkt liegt...

This paper summarizes some recent developments in rnicroeconometrics with respect to methods for estimation and inference in non-linear models based on cross-section and panel data. In particular we discuss recent progress in estimation with conditional moment restrictions, simulation methods,...
