Structural equations with latent variables
Kenneth A. Bollen (Author)
"Structural Equations with Latent Variables" by Kenneth A. Bollen is a seminal 1989 textbook that offers a comprehensive introduction to structural equation modeling (SEM), particularly the LISREL model, widely used in social science research. Bollen presents a unified framework that encompasses path analysis, recursive and nonrecursive models, classical econometrics, and confirmatory factor analysis as special cases of a general model. The book emphasizes practical applications, providing empirical examples from sociology, economics, and psychology, and includes discussions on the statistical software packages LISREL and EQS. It also addresses critical topics such as measurement validity, reliability, overall fit indices, model identification, and causality. This work has been cited over 32,000 times, underscoring its significant impact on the field of structural equation modeling
