Mathscinet review: "In nonstandard analysis, *-finite sets are infinite sets which nonetheless possess the formal properties of finite sets. They permit a synthesis of continuous and discrete theories in many areas of mathematics, including probability theory, functional analysis, and mathematical economics. *-finite models are particularly useful in building new models of economic or probabilistic processes." here
