What is the difference between exogenous and endogenous variables?
Exogeneous Values | Endogenous Values |
Exogeneous values are independent values in a model | Endogenous values are dependent on other physical quantities in the model. |
Exogeneous Values are fixed in a system and cannot be altered externally. | Endogenous values can be altered externally to produce desired results |
Example: in agriculture as a model, rainfall cannot be controlled by us and hence is a exogenous value. | Example: In agriculture, the amount of pesticides and fertilizers can be controlled by us, hence they are endogenous values. |
