We consider the contribution to the analysis of economic time series of the generalized method of moments estimator introduced by Hansen (1982). We outline the theoretical contribution, conduct a small-scale survey and discuss some ongoing theoretical research.

Prepared for a special issue of the Journal of Business and Economic Statistics.
