Abstract
Econometricians have developed a number of alternative methods for estimating parameters and testing hypotheses in simultaneous equations models. Some of these are limited information methods that can be applied one equation at a time and require only minimal specification of the other equations in the system. In contrast, the full information methods treat the system as a whole and require a complete specification of all the equations.
