Eggert et al. {, 2005 #1122, p. 108} argue that for formative indicators, the pairwise multiplication of indicators is not possible. Product items between two sets of formative items will not necessarily show the same underlying interaction effect because formative indicators do not reflect their un...

... I just added the same MVs to the model a second time and connected this second set to the 2nd-order LVs.

Dear Russ, many thanks for your help. Your recommendation intuitively makes sense to me. Do you know whether I can also quote this approach from some article? Best, Dirk

... just for clarification: Does that mean for example that my two 1st-order LVs (each formatively measured by two sets of indicators) have only paths towards a 2nd-order LV (that is simultaneously formatively measured by the combined set of the same indicators) that in turn has paths towards endoge...

Hi Christian, many thanks for your two upfront xls spreadsheets, I just need some help on their exact interpretation. Is the blindfolded cross-validated communality the same as the Stone Geisser Test Criterion? And if so, what is then the meaning of the blindfolded cross-validated redundancy test? M...

Not it works, many thanks!

Many thanks!
