Introduction to Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA)
OnlineQualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) is a set-theoretic technique for comparing intermediate to large numbers of cases that models causal complexity to analyze necessary or sufficient conditions for an outcome. This five-day online course introduces QCA as an approach and a technique, its main assumptions, its standard procedures and operations, and the technical environment used for … Continue reading Introduction to Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA)

Introduction to Causal Process Tracing
OnlineProcess tracing is a research method for tracing causal mechanisms using detailed, within-case empirical analysis of how a causal process plays out in an actual case. This five-day online course provides participants with a working understanding of the core elements of process tracing (PT) as a robust case study method, enabling them to utilize it … Continue reading Introduction to Causal Process Tracing

Introduction to Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA)
OnlineFor your research, if you've ever wanted to understand and model causal effects in a rigorous way that reflects the complexity of the real-world. NCA understands a cause as a necessary (but not sufficient) condition, rather than a probabilistic cause (as in regression analysis). “Necessary” means that a certain outcome will not occur without a … Continue reading Introduction to Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA)

Introduction to Causal Data Analysis and Modeling with Coincidence Analysis
Prague University of Economics and Business, Czech Republic , Czech RepublicThis workshop offers an intensive 4-day introduction to causal modeling with Coincidence Analysis (CNA), a relatively new configurational comparative method of data analysis geared towards causal complexity, which has seen a considerable uptick in applications in recent years. No prior knowledge of CNA is required. In plenary lectures, the main developer of CNA, Michael Baumgartner, and … Continue reading Introduction to Causal Data Analysis and Modeling with Coincidence Analysis

Set Theory, Constructivism, and Science: A Symposium on James Mahoney’s The Logic of Social Science
Central European University - Vienna Quellenstraße 51, Vienna, Wien, AustriaIn this hybrid symposium, a panel of scholars discuss James Mahoney’s recent book, The Logic of Social Science. The book develops a scientific constructivist approach that uses set-theoretic analysis to avoid essentialist biases in the production of knowledge. This scientific constructivist approach recognizes that social categories depend on collective understandings for their existence, but it insists … Continue reading Set Theory, Constructivism, and Science: A Symposium on James Mahoney’s The Logic of Social Science
