Speaker: Associate Prof.Dr.One-Ki Daniel Lee, University of Massachusetts Boston

Abstract:

The qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) is an emerging research approach, which is based on the set theory and systems theoretical perspective. Contrasting to the regression approach that investigates the net effect of each individual variable, QCA examines holistic configurations of multiple variables as causal recipes of the desired outcomes. Part I of this research seminar will focus on the theoretical foundation of this emerging research approach. Furthermore, its matching methodological tools, such as crisp-set QCA (csQCA) and fuzzy-set QCA (fsQCA).
