Abstract
In this lecture we apply maximal inequalities for empirical processes to obtain rates of convergence of minimum contrast estimators, in particular in semiparametric models. These rates are of interest by themselves, but will also be needed to prove the asymptotic normality of semiparametric likelihood estimators in certain models.
