       abstract = "Relatively simple economic models often lead to complex estimation problems. Even
         when the model itself is linear, the estimation problem can be nonlinear, with an unknown number of
         stationary points. Disequilibrium models have proved to be particularly difficult to estimate. Newer
         global optimization techniques, such as simulated annealing and genetic algorithms, have not been
         particularly successful in solving such models. More traditional methods can fail completely unless
         good starting points are used. The gradient vectors and Hessian matrices of nonlinear econometric
         functions tend to be complex and lead to well known user and computational approximation errors.
         Automatic differentiation can eliminate user error. Combined with interval arithmetic, it offers a
         particularly useful method of global optimization.",
