Abstract

Several problematic issues in Lee, Cadogan and Chamberlain’s (2013) paper on MIMIC models and formative measurement are identified and discussed. It is argued that MIMIC models can be used with formative measurement specifications and that replacing the formative measurement model with a (non-testable) composite does not contribute to better measurement practice.
