摘要翻译：
在似然函数难以解析的情况下，经验经济研究经常应用最大似然估计。大多数理论文献集中于最大模拟似然估计，而经验和仿真分析经常发现替代逼近方法，如拟蒙特卡罗模拟、高斯求积和稀疏网格积分，在数值上表现得更好。本文将MSL估计的理论结果推广为一般的最大近似似然(MAL)估计集。我们给出了模型和近似方法的一般条件，以保证相合性和渐近正态性。我们也给出了具体的例子和有限样本的模拟结果。

英文摘要：
  Empirical economic research frequently applies maximum likelihood estimation in cases where the likelihood function is analytically intractable. Most of the theoretical literature focuses on maximum simulated likelihood (MSL) estimators, while empirical and simulation analyzes often find that alternative approximation methods such as quasi-Monte Carlo simulation, Gaussian quadrature, and integration on sparse grids behave considerably better numerically. This paper generalizes the theoretical results widely known for MSL estimators to a general set of maximum approximated likelihood (MAL) estimators. We provide general conditions for both the model and the approximation approach to ensure consistency and asymptotic normality. We also show specific examples and finite-sample simulation results.
