Abstract
The indeterminacy of the Structural Models, i.e. the arbitrariness of latent scores, due to the factorial nature of the measurement models, is, in the dynamic context, more problematic. We propose an alternative formulation of the Structural Dynamic Model, based on the Replicated Common Factor Model (Haagen e Oberhofer, 1999), where latent scores are no more indeterminate.
