Introduction to Qualitative Comparative Analysis (Southwestern Social Science Association 2022)

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam De Boelelaan 1109B, Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands

Qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) uses Boolean algebra to offer an alternative to conventional statistical techniques for analyzing empirical data. While large-N representative applications of QCA are increasingly popular, QCA is especially useful for identifying and understanding cross-case patterns in small- and medium-N projects with data collected using qualitative and/or mixed methods. Fundamentally a pattern-matching technique … Continue reading Introduction to Qualitative Comparative Analysis (Southwestern Social Science Association 2022)
