Parameter restrictions are explicit conditions imposed on the values or relationships of parameters within a mathematical, statistical, or econometric model. They can take the form of equalities (for example setting two coefficients equal), inequalities (such as non‑negativity or upper bounds), or structural relationships derived from theory. These constraints are used to reflect prior knowledge, theoretical assumptions, identification requirements, or simplifications that reduce model complexity. In estimation, parameter restrictions influence the feasible parameter space, affect identifiability and efficiency of estimators, and are often tested empirically to assess whether theoretical assumptions are supported by the data.
