Introduction to Qualitative Comparative Analysis (Southwestern Social Science Association 2022)
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam De Boelelaan 1109B, Amsterdam, North Holland, NetherlandsQualitative 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)

The newest methodological developments and open questions will be presented alongside exemplary applications from public health, … Continue reading Current Issues in Coincidence Analysis
Summer School in Social Research Methods: Comparative Research Designs
Radboud University Houtlaan 4, Nijmegen, NetherlandsThe purpose of this course is to provide training on all aspects that enable a researcher to build and implement the most appropriate comparative research design – the latter broadly defined as any research enterprise that comprises at least two ‘cases’ or observations. On the one hand, the course will cover a few fundamental upstream … Continue reading Summer School in Social Research Methods: Comparative Research Designs
Summer School in Social Research Methods: Introduction to Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA)
Radboud University Houtlaan 4, Nijmegen, NetherlandsThis course introduces students to the nuts and bolts of Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), an innovative set-theoretic technique that allows for comparisons of small, intermediate or large numbers of cases in order to identify necessary and/or sufficient conditions for an outcome. It is an attractive method for scholars who seek to model causally complex patterns … Continue reading Summer School in Social Research Methods: Introduction to Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA)
Summer School in Social Research Methods: Advanced Applied Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA)
Radboud University Houtlaan 4, Nijmegen, NetherlandsThe central aim of the course is to enable participants to put in practice state-of-the-art QCA empirical research. Apart from learning how to apply QCA in the best possible way, discussions in class will address from a set-theoretic point of view general methodological issues, such as robustness tests, theory evaluation, case selection strategies, or the … Continue reading Summer School in Social Research Methods: Advanced Applied Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA)
