• Process Tracing and Contribution Analysis: A Combined Approach to Generative Causal Inference for Impact Evaluation (2014, unknown): “Contribution analysis (Mayne 2012b, 2008, 2001) and process tracing (Beach and Pedersen 2011; Collier 2011; Bennett 2010, 2008) both seek to make causal inferences about cause and effect using non-counterfactual approaches based on similar analysis tools: causal mechanisms and theories of change.”
• Interrogating the theory of change: evaluating impact investing where it matters most (2013, methodology): “Moreover, qualitative tools for understanding cause and effect relationships in a given investment, like contribution analysis (Mayne 2008), are also appropriate.”
