A practical video guide to outer loadings, AVE, reliability, HTMT, and Fornell–Larcker.
A practical video guide to outer loadings, AVE, reliability, HTMT, and Fornell–Larcker. This material can be combined with classroom discussion, independent exercises, and formative assessment.
The lesson begins with definitions and core assumptions before moving to relationships among variables, conceptual interpretation, and applications to real cases. Every result should be critically assessed in light of context, data quality, and methodological limitations.
Strong understanding goes beyond memorizing formulas; it requires explaining their meaning and implications.
When one variable changes, analysis should explain not only the direction of change, but also the mechanism, assumptions, and affected groups.
| Scenario | G | Y | r | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baseline | 100 | 1,000 | 5% | Initial equilibrium |
| Fiscal expansion | 130 | 1,080 | 5.8% | Output and interest rate rise |
