Description:
FsQCA methods are becoming increasingly popular in the social sciences research. In a first step, the course will explain the fundamental concepts that characterize the QCA methodological perspective. This requires that the participants are made familiar with some knowledge of set-theory, formal logic, and Boolean algebra. Then the course proceeds by outlining the basic principles and practices of QCA, both the crisp-set and the fuzzy-set version. Participants will be introduced to the computer-based QCA analysis using the fsQCA software. Participants are also encouraged to bring their own data, if available. Individual consultation sessions will be offered in addition to help participants with the methodological aspects of their own research projects.
