Talk:Reduced form

The stub replaced by a detailed example, showing the relation with the structural form. The example is the most simple one: linear, with only two equations. The page is now consistent with the example at Parameter identification problem; please do not break this consistency.

Outside econometrics, the same concept is also discussed; see the "See also". For instance System of linear equations: "Typically, some of the variables are designated as free (or independent, or as parameters), meaning that they are allowed to take any value, while the remaining variables are dependent on the values of the free variables."

Note that System of linear equations and Simultaneous equations (in the "See also") overlap much, which might lead to the merging of the two pages (which will then require adaption of the "See also" here).
