Joint effects in cross-lagged panel research using structural nested mean models
Joint effects in cross-lagged panel research using structural nested mean models

An introduction to joint effects in a cross-lagged panel setting. We compare the estimation of such joint effects with structural equation models and with g-estimation of structural nested mean models.

Causal effects of time-varying exposures: A comparison of structural equation modeling and marginal structural models in cross-lagged panel research
Causal effects of time-varying exposures: A comparison of structural equation modeling and marginal structural models in cross-lagged panel research

We describe three phases of causal research to better understand the differences between a structural equation modeling approach and a g-methods approach to studying effects of a time-varying exposure.
