Introduction to theJBESSpecial Issue on Structural Estimation in Applied Microeconomics
本文是特刊导言，讨论经济理论在从数据推断行为中的关键作用，并对比特刊中从完全求解到近似简化决策规则等多种理论实证方法。
In the introduction to the special issue, we discusses the important role of economic theory in drawing inferences about behavior from data. The papers in the special issue represent several different approaches to theory-based empirical analysis, ranging from full solution methods to the estimation of approximate reduced-form decision rules. We contrast these various approaches to estimation.
