Sigrid is right as well: methyl acetoacetate is another word for it:

Sorry that was my mistake, of course it should be methyl acetoacetate ester, as the first reference also shows.

Actually, I'll take that back: methyl acetoacetic ester (which does indeed have google hits, see the chembuyersguide link) is right, methyl acetoacetate ester doesn't make any sense. Meaning: methyl acetoacetate or methyl acetoacetic ester.
