7Much current research in statistics and econometrics is directed at “dimension reduction.”
This consists of imposing shape assumptions that are much weaker than those of models like
6.1 and 6.2 but strong enough to reduce the effective number of shapes that must be considered
and thereby to increase estimation precision substantially. Although these techniques
show considerable promise, they have not yet been developed sufficiently to be applicable to
problems like estimation of the effects of right-to-carry laws.
