        %X H. Theil has made important contributions to the analysis of simultaneous-equations models.
This paper gives an exposition of some closely related recent developments in microeconometrics,
with a focus on efforts to develop robust methods for dynamic policy
evaluation. We set the stage with a brief discussion of the static treatment-effect approach to
program evaluation and non-parametric structural models. We then critically analyze the
dynamic treatment-effects approach adopted from statistics. Finally, we review the eventhistory
approach. We clarify some of the fundamental problems that arise in the analysis of
such models by rephrasing a canonical version as a simultaneous-equations model.
