This paper presents a simple version of the theory ofM-estimation. It is argued that the theory is immediately applicable to almost all estimation schemes employed by econometricians. It is further argued that the great overlooked benefit of the theory is that is provides almost automatic asymptotic results, e.g., probability limits and asymptotic covariances. Thus one need not be a theoretical econometrician to invent and use specially tailored estimators. To illustrate its use the theory is applied to a variety of theoretical and applied problems. Particular attention is paid to two-stage estimators.
