Structural estimation is a technnique for estimating deep "structural" parameters of theoretical economic models. In this sense, "structural estimation" is contrasted with "reduced-form estimation," which generally provides evidence about partial equilibrium relationships in a regression framework.

Specific structural estimation techniques include generalized method of moments and maximum likelihood. Structural estimation is used by economists, econometricians, and statisticians.
