This book is the author's dissertation. It consists of a thorough analysis of theories formalizing finitely iterated inductive definitions. In the first chapter the theories are defined in several variations and their proof-theoretic strength is determined. These results (together with some completions of chapter 2.2) are published separately [\textit{K. Aehlig}, J. Symb. Log. 70, No. 4, 1087--1107 (2005)]. In chapter 2 induction on the natural numbers is added. It is shown that ``[o]n the one hand, adding full induction results in an increase of the proof-theoretical strength by an additional inductive definition. On the other hand induction on arithmetical formulae only affects the arithmetical consequences of the system. [p.~31] The third chapter contains a discussion of fragments of system F which characterize the provably recursive function of the theories under considerations. In the final section the limit of the theories, \(\text{ID}^c_{<\omega}\), is considered which can be characterized as the one-variable fragment of intuitionistic analysis.
