Abstract

Static structural equations models such as LISREL (Jöreskog/Sörbom, 1981) or EQS (Bentler, 1989) are now very popular in the social sciences in order to model causal relations between components of a system. The LISREL model represents a synthesis of path and factor analysis models. Originally it was designed to analyze cross sectional data but there are attempts to use it for longitudinal (time series and panel) data (see, e.g. Arminger/Müller, 1990, Oud/van den Bercken/Essers, 1990).
