Hello
I need help!
How can i interpret endogenous construct (ultimate dependent var.) in formative form in the model?
My advisor doesn't agree with me if endo.var. (ultimate dependent var.) is formative form. He said it's nonsense when arrowheads into LVs and represented cause not effect! He believes the ultimate right side in model should be effect not cause! How can i explain it?
Please help me some literatures. Please!
Thank you so much

Re: Endogenous construct with formative form
Hello,
there is an ongoing discussion about formative (endogenous) variables (see all papers on https://link.springer.com/journal/13162/3/1/page/1). In my opinion, from a theoretical point of view it is difficult to find good arguments for formative endogenous variables.
