#qca — Public Fediverse posts

I've read quite a few articles on qualitative comparative analysis (#QCA), but nothing quite so broad as Charles Ragin's The Comparative Method book. It's a good mix of conceptual & practical, argument for a qualitative/quantitative compromise, and focused on political #sociology examples I'm familiar with. QCA uses a #boolean approach, looking for the combined effect/process of multiple variables upon outcomes. Fascinating & pitched at those w/ #stats knowledge. https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520280038/the-comparative-method #reading

Today, the Call for Abstracts for the QCA Paper Development Workshop (Antwerp, Dec 12-13) ends - an excellent opportunity to get feedback on work-in-progress #QCA studies: https://compasss.org/intlqca/abstracts_2023/

Very proud to share my newly published paper on #ConflictDynamics 🥳 We used #QualitativeComparativeAnalysis (#QCA) to determine which conditions explain latent, collaborative, or escalated dynamics in #LandUseConflicts (and how to get people to work together more often in these conflicts). It's the centerpiece of my PhD project. Feels amazing to have this milestone finished 😊

Had a great day yesterday at #thebigone #xr in London’s #stjamespark. #qca were there flying the flag! Our meeting for worship was blessed by an avian attender too… #pelican

We had the first meeting of our new committee today. Great to see #QCA back in action, planning lots of contributions to Britain Yearly Meeting #BYM at the end of April.

I have joined already a while ago and haven’t yet written my #introduction :

I am Professor of Political Science and Pro-Rector for External Relations at Central European University (#CEU) in Vienna.

I am interested in comparative politics and #methodology. I study the transformation of political regimes and work on the development of set-theoretic methods, in particular #QCA.

I toot about anything potentially interesting, as a professional hobby vintner also #wine.

#Introduction 👋

I am a political scientist #polisci at the #EUI where I work as a Research Fellow in the #SOLID project. My research focuses on EU #crisispolitics, #politicalbehavior, public opinion formation, social #movements, & #protest.

I am also interested in #researchmethods & #Rstats package development. I work with #textasdata for semi-automated protest event analysis, #surveyexperiments, and #QCA.

I was late to qualitative comparative analysis (QCA), but I'm thankful I had the opportunity to learn about it a few years ago. A few co-authors and I used it recently in a research study.

If you're interested in #QCA, this is one of the best introductions I could recommend. It's one of the few such pieces that I've read more than once. Good stuff:
