jibs-data-analysis

Use when running and reporting the empirical analysis for a Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) manuscript — cross-national measurement equivalence, common-method-variance checks, the right multilevel/dynamic-panel estimator, endogeneity and dynamic-endogeneity identification, and robustness aligned to the JIBS methods-editorial canon. Executes and reports; it does not design the study (jibs-methods) or frame the contribution (jibs-contribution-framing).

# Data Analysis & Cross-National Validity (jibs-data-analysis)

## When to trigger

- Cross-country or multilevel data are collected and it is time to estimate and report
- You are unsure your estimator matches nesting (individuals in firms in countries) or a process design
- Reviewers will probe measurement equivalence, CMV, or (dynamic) endogeneity
- A reviewer cites a JIBS "From the Editors" methods editorial against your analysis

## Establish cross-national measurement equivalence first

At JIBS, because constructs travel across countries and cultures, **measurement equivalence is a first-order review concern**, not an afterthought. Before testing hypotheses:

- **Reliability & CFA.** Report reliability (alpha/composite reliability) and a confirmatory factor analysis with fit (CFI, TLI, RMSEA, SRMR).
