Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis Summary 1

Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) is a relatively new but accepted method for understanding case-based research. The technique utilizes a holistic perspective exploring the similarities and differences across cases. Theory and evidence are linked by the presence and absence of outcomes in configurations of causal conditions allowing for the assessment of the multiple conjunctions of causes of an outcome (Ragin, 2014).
