Comparative Case Study Design
University of Exeter, Penryn Campus Exeter, Devon, United KingdomDescription: This module provides you with the skills needed to design your qualitative case study research. It covers concept formation, casing and case selection, logics and strategies of comparison, accounting for context and time, data collection strategies, and both conceptual and research-practical issues such as limited diversity, Galton’s problem, conceptual stretching, and thinking about scope … Continue reading Comparative Case Study Design
Designing Research with Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA)
University of Exeter, Penryn Campus Exeter, Devon, United KingdomThis module introduces you 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 … Continue reading Designing Research with Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA)
ICPSR Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research
University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI, United StatesQCA can be used to answer any research question if one is interested in analyzing patterns of necessity and sufficiency in a group of cases ranging from a handful to many thousands. The method is now widely used in different disciplines including political science, sociology, public administration, public health, medical research, organization and management research. … Continue reading ICPSR Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research
Panel on Case-Oriented and Set-Theoretic Approaches to Comparative Policy Analysis, 4th International Conference on Public Policy (ICPP4)
University of Concordia Montreal, CanadaRecent years have seen an impressive proliferation of set-theoretic and case-oriented methods in comparative policy analysis in general (see e.g. Rihoux et al. 2011; Thomann 2019), and in policy implementation and evaluation research in particular (Gerrits and Verweij 2018; Pattyn et al. 2017). Case-oriented and set-theoretic approaches to comparative policy analysis, including but not limited … Continue reading Panel on Case-Oriented and Set-Theoretic Approaches to Comparative Policy Analysis, 4th International Conference on Public Policy (ICPP4)

Università della Svizzera Italiana Via Buffi 13, Lugano, SwitzerlandThe course provides participants with a thorough introduction to Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), both as a research approach and as a data analysis technique. In recent years, this set-theoretic method has gained recognition among social scientists as a methodological approach that holds specific benefits for comparative studies. The course begins by familiarizing participants with the … Continue reading Short Course on Qualitative Comparative Analysis, 23rd Swiss Summer School in Social Science Methods
Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) in Research on Environment, Conflict, and Peace
Central European University - Vienna Quellenstraße 51, Vienna, Wien, AustriaA training on QCA will be organised by Charles Ragin and Tobias Ide during the First Environmental Peacebuilding Conference (October 23-25, University of California Irvine). The training will be held from 9:00-1:30 at October 23 and provide an introduction to QCA with a focus on applications in the field of environmental security and environmental peacebuilding.
Training Day: Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA)
Cathie Marsh Institute for Social Research (University of Manchester) Oxford Road, Manchester, United KingdomQualitative Comparative Analysis is a systematic method of studying data on multiple comparable cases from about N=8 through to large datasets of N=10,000 etc. The QCA methods firstly involve casing, i.e. delineating cases; secondly organising a systematic data matrix (we will show these in NVIVO and in Excel); thirdly examining sets of cases known as configurations; … Continue reading Training Day: Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA)
Pre-Conference Workshop on Coincidence Analysis (12th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination & Implementation in Health)
Crystal Gateway Marriott (Arlington, VA) 1700 Jefferson Davis Hwy, Arlington, VirginiaThis workshop will introduce Coincidence Analysis (CNA), a relatively new member within the family of Configurational Comparative Methods. CNA is specifically designed to analyze causal complexity, which is common in implementation research. Presenters will discuss the types of studies for which CNA is useful, provide worked examples of applying CNA to datasets, and share practical … Continue reading Pre-Conference Workshop on Coincidence Analysis (12th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination & Implementation in Health)
