Overview
Key facts
- While the spectrum of set-theoretic methods is broad, including techniques such as Mill’s methods or typological theory, this course primarily focuses on Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA).
- Invented by Charles Ragin, this technique is still undergoing modifications, improvements, and ramifications with applications in fields as diverse as political science, public policy, international relations, sociology, business and management studies, or even musicology.
- Radboud University offers the Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) - Performing Basics and Advanced Analyses using R programme.
Programme Structure
Course include:
- Throughout the course, we will analyze fake and real data in the computer lab, using the R software environment and packages QCA and SetMethods.
- In addition to prepared datasets, which will be made available, participants are encouraged to bring their own raw data (even if this data is still tentative), which can be used for lab exercises and project work.
- Instructors and teaching assistants will be available for individual appointments with course participants to discuss research projects, questions regarding the design of a QCA study, and similar issues.
