In a variety of contexts, '''exogeny''' or '''exogeneity''' ({{ety|gre|exoἔξω éxō|outside||gignomai|||-γένεια -géneia|to produce}}) is the fact of an action or object originating externally. It contrasts with [[endogenyendogeneity (disambiguation)|endogeneity]] or endogeneityendogeny, the fact of being influenced within a system.
 
== Economics ==
* In an [[economics|economic]] [[model (economics)|model]], an '''exogenous''' change is one that comes from outside the model and is unexplained by the model. For example, in the simple [[supply and demand]] model, a change in consumer tastes or preferences is unexplained by the model and also leads to [[endogeneity (economics)|endogenous]] changes in demand that lead to changes in the [[economic equilibrium|equilibrium]] price. Similarly, a change in the consumer's income is given outside the model but affects demand. Put another way, an exogenous change involves an alteration of a variable that is autonomous, i.e., unaffected by the workings of the [[model (economics)|model]].
In an [[economics|economic]] [[model (economics)|model]], an [[Exogenous change|'''exogenous''' change]] is one that comes [[exogenous and endogenous variables|from outside the model]] and is unexplained by the model. Such changes of an economic model from outside factors can include the influence of technology, in which this had previously been noted as an exogenous factor, but has rather been noted as a factor that can depict economic forces as a whole.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Lamberton|first=D.

In [[econometrics]], an [[endogeneity (econometrics)|endogenous]] [[random variable]] is [[correlation|correlated]] with the [[Errors and residuals|error term]] in the econometric model, while an exogenous variable is not.<ref>{{cite book |first=Jeffrey M. |last=Wooldridge |author-link=Jeffrey Wooldridge |title=Introductory Econometrics: A Modern Approach |location=Mason |publisher=South-Western |edition=Fourth |year=2009 |isbn=978-0-324-66054-8 |page=49 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=64vt5TDBNLwC&pg=PA49 }}</ref> However, exogenous variables aid in the explanation of endogenous variable variances. In the preset group, it is typical to include historical values of endogenous variables. Exogenous variables are independent of the model's [[disturbance term]], since they are preset. They meet the same conditions as [[explanatory variables]] do in a traditional [[regression model]].

Exogenous [[Constructivism (psychological school)|constructivism]] prioritizes the reconstruction of structures that have already been created in the environment, which is based from a mechanical metaphor, and greatly reflects off of [[Bobo doll experiment|Bandura]]'s [[social learning theory]].<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Amineh|first1=Roya Jafari|last2=Asl|first2=Hannah Davatgari|date=April 2015|title=Review of Constructivism and Social Constructivism|url=https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/51548785/construtivisim_and_social_C-with-cover-page-v2.pdf?Expires=1638729868&Signature=XSDAHrKWYZYm0vmqQjOhViJ4Csq7XyYbRVzpM6HzLmODJ2AnCC7Xz7l0FJEcf3vTSo2Az6PpTrQRzoQFp6UZZZI-ovpyh7hSlQZ0w37al30qGDQ1vI5t4NPZsCsM2ss1unBhXVrfbTy9ealZkSmaTm4OPkGVa7~ZxWHEfCSulqyqBlTSWXQs4XFjstfUriU00MAKIP2MhcoShqbAHcqIHN~11tRI106RxrxBP4c1q5DtjJhnQbsTpAlEoE1MbBoTLzE2eD90eAjVUo0U2hNdYEdtTtXsXhwPVJ2W0z2kIGzF7lDPkWMapl-Fl0mI1QzJkyUTbtlLURWrGbP25dK3EA__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA|journal=Journal of Social Sciences, Literature and Languages|volume=1|issue=1|pages=9–16|access-date=2021-12-05|archive-date=2021-12-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211205175909/https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/51548785/construtivisim_and_social_C-with-cover-page-v2.pdf?Expires=1638729868&Signature=XSDAHrKWYZYm0vmqQjOhViJ4Csq7XyYbRVzpM6HzLmODJ2AnCC7Xz7l0FJEcf3vTSo2Az6PpTrQRzoQFp6UZZZI-ovpyh7hSlQZ0w37al30qGDQ1vI5t4NPZsCsM2ss1unBhXVrfbTy9ealZkSmaTm4OPkGVa7~ZxWHEfCSulqyqBlTSWXQs4XFjstfUriU00MAKIP2MhcoShqbAHcqIHN~11tRI106RxrxBP4c1q5DtjJhnQbsTpAlEoE1MbBoTLzE2eD90eAjVUo0U2hNdYEdtTtXsXhwPVJ2W0z2kIGzF7lDPkWMapl-Fl0mI1QzJkyUTbtlLURWrGbP25dK3EA__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA|url-status=dead}}</ref> Overall, exogenous constructivism is noted to assume that knowledge comes from an individual's environment, which is assumed to be learned.

== Exogeny in other areas ==
 
=== Geography ===
In [[geography]], exogenous processes all take place outside the [[Earth]] and all the other [[planets]]. [[Weathering]], [[erosion]], transportation and [[sedimentation]] are the main exogenous processes. Asides from climate, exogenous geographic factors are able to contribute to the overall process of distribution, including densities of populations and [[Urbanization|urbanizations]] of certain areas in the world.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Ballinger|first=Clint|date=May 2008|title=Initial Conditions as Exogenous Factors in Spatial Explanation|url=https://philarchive.org/archive/BALICA-2v1}}</ref> Exogeneity is proposed to ultimately cause geographic considerations to be rejected.
