Once again, thank you for your precious help.

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi everyone,

Can you explain me how to apply two-stage approach in a formative third-model?
You can find the model in attachment.

Thank you for your help.

For purposes of model identification, I need to ensure the formative construct has at least two structural paths to reflective constructs? Should I use two-stage approach or repeated indicator approach? I will ap...
