摘要	Panel-based model testing research combines the longitudinal power of panel survey designs with the confirmatory rigor of structural model testing — such as structural equation modeling (SEM), path analysis, or confirmatory factor analysis — applied to data collected from the same units (individuals, firms, countries) across multiple time points. This approach enables researchers to test theoretically specified causal and mediation structures while controlling for unobserved unit-level heterogeneity and examining how relationships unfold over time.	Structural equation modeling (SEM) is a comprehensive statistical framework combining path analysis (Sewall Wright, 1921) and confirmatory factor analysis to test complex causal models linking observed and latent variables. Formalized by Jöreskog (1973) with LISREL software, SEM enables simultaneous estimation of measurement relationships (how variables measure latent constructs) and structural relationships (how constructs influence outcomes), making it powerful for theory testing in psychology, epidemiology, organizational research, and health sciences where complex mediation, moderation, and latent processes require integrated analysis.
