    The bifactor model and its extensions are multidimensional latent vari- able models, under which each item measures up to one subdimension on top of the primary dimension(s). Despite their wide applications to educational and psycho- logical assessments, these multidimensional latent variable models may suffer from nonidentifiability, which can further lead to inconsistent parameter estimation and invalid inference. The current work provides a relatively complete characterization of identifiability for linear and dichotomous bifactor models and the linear extended bifactor model with correlated subdimensions. In addition, similar results for the two-tier models are developed. Illustrative examples on checking model identifia- bility by inspecting the factor loading structure are provided. Simulation studies examine the estimation consistency when the identifiability conditions are/are not satisfied.
