This book pulls together robust practices in Partial Least Squares
Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) from other disciplines and
shows how they can be used in the area of Banking and Finance. In
terms of empirical analysis techniques, Banking and Finance is a
conservative discipline. As such, this book will raise awareness of
the potential of PLS-SEM for application in various contexts.
PLS-SEM is a non-parametric approach designed to maximize explained
variance in latent constructs. Latent constructs are directly
unobservable phenomena such as customer service quality and
managerial competence. Explained variance refers to the extent we
can predict, say, customer service quality, by examining other
theoretically related latent constructs such as conduct of staff
and communication skills. Examples of latent constructs at the
microeconomic level include customer service quality, managerial
effectiveness, perception of market leadership, etc.;
macroeconomic-level latent constructs would be found in contagion
of systemic risk from one financial sector to another, herd
behavior among fund managers, risk tolerance in financial markets,
etc. Behavioral Finance is bound to provide a wealth of
opportunities for applying PLS-SEM. The book is designed to expose
robust processes in application of PLS-SEM, including use of
various software packages and codes, including R. PLS-SEM is
already a popular tool in marketing and management information
systems used to explain latent constructs. Until now, PLS-SEM has
not enjoyed a wide acceptance in Banking and Finance. Based on
recent research developments, this book represents the first
collection of PLS-SEM applications in Banking and Finance. This
book will serve as a reference book for those researchers keen on
adopting PLS-SEM to explain latent constructs in Banking and
Finance.
