Endogenous and exogenous variables:
There are two types of variables in simultaneous equation models: endogenbus and exogenous.
Endogenous Variables get determined jointly and interdependently within the model. The endogenous variables are determined by the exogenous variables. Exogenous Variables are determined outside the model and independently of the endogenous variables. These exogenous variables determine the endogenous variables but the endogenous variables cannot affect the exogenous variables.
Lagged Dependent Variables:
In a model we can include the lagged value of an endogenous vaiiable alsd. For example, Ct is current year consumption and is assumed to be an endogenous variable. If we consider Ct-1 in another equation (which implies past year consumption), then it is lagged endogenous variable.
Predetermined Variables:
In addition to the above, often we come across the term 'predetermined variable'. It includes both exogenous variables and the lagged endogenous variables.
