This paper clarifies a relationship between two fundamental concepts in these literatures, the Aumann and Fréchet means, and presents some applications of metric statistics to econometric problems involving random sets.","short_abstract":"Since the seminal work by Beresteanu and Molinari(2008), the random set theory and related inference methods have been widely applied in partially identified econometric models.
