TLDR
In this article, the authors present six cases of non-convergence of the PLS path modeling algorithm, and these cases were estimated using Mode A combined with the factorial scheme or the path weighting scheme.Abstract:
This paper adds to an important aspect of Partial Least Squares (PLS) path modeling, namely the convergence of the iterative PLS path modeling algorithm. Whilst conventional wisdom says that PLS always converges in practice, there is no formal proof for path models with more than two blocks of manifest variables. This paper presents six cases of non-convergence of the PLS path modeling algorithm. These cases were estimated using Mode A combined with the factorial scheme or the path weighting scheme, which are two popular options of the algorithm. As a conclusion, efforts to come to a proof of convergence under these schemes can be abandoned, and users of PLS should triangulate their estimation results.read more

On making causal claims : A review and recommendations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present methods that allow researchers to test causal claims in situations where randomization is not possible or when causal interpretation could be confounded; these methods include fixed-effects panel, sample selection, instrumental variable, regression discontinuity, and difference-in-differences models.

Determinants of non-compliance behaviour on excise duty in Malaysia
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the direct relationship between tax rate, penalty rate, tax audit, tax fairness, peer influence, tax knowledge, corruption and excise duty non-compliance and considered the moderating effect of the probability of detection and tax agents.

Use of partial least squares (PLS) in strategic management research: a review of four recent studies
TL;DR: The current paper reviews four recent studies in the strategic management area which use PLS and notes that the technique has been applied inconsistently, and at times inappropriately, and suggests standards for evaluating future PLS applications.

TL;DR: An extensive search in the 30 top ranked marketing journals allowed us to identify 204 PLS-SEM applications published in a 30-year period (1981 to 2010), and a critical analysis of these articles addresses the following key methodological issues: reasons for using PLS, data and model characteristics, outer and inner model evaluations, and reporting.
