An overidentified model occurs when every parameter is identified and at least one parameter is overidentified (e.g., it can be solved for in more than way–instead of solving for this parameter with one equation, more than one equation will generate this parameter estimate).

What is identification econometrics?

Identification, in econometrics, is a problem which tells whether structural parameters can be obtained or not from reduced form parameters. Cite. 1 Recommendation.

How do you tell if an equation is identified?

An equation is UNDER-IDENTIFIED if its statistical form is not unique. A system is UNDER-IDENTIFIED if one or more of its equations is under-identified. An equation which has a unique statistical form is IDENTIFIED. A system is IDENTIFIED if all of its equations are IDENTIFIED.
