Anchoring Democracy from Above? The European Union and Democratic Backsliding in Hungary and Romania after Accession† (2014, background): “This article assesses these partly competing, partly complementary explanations through a fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) (Ragin, 2008; Schneider and Wagemann, 2012).”
Fuzzy Sets on Shaky Ground: Parameter Sensitivity and Confirmation Bias in fsQCA (2015, methodology): “Adding to recent critiques of this method (Achen 2005; Seawright 2005a, 2005b) and proposed enhancements (Schneider and Wagemann 2012; Glaesser and Cooper 2014; Maggetti and Levi-Faur 2013), this article will demonstrate that fsQCA is an extraordinarily sensitive method whose results are worryingly…”
Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) in entrepreneurship and innovation research – the rise of a method (2017, methodology): “A low degree of coverage indicates several paths (combinations of conditions) to the same outcome (Ragin 2008b, 2009; Schneider and Wagemann 2012; Denk and Lehtinen 2014).”
Problems (and solutions) in the measurement of policy diffusion mechanisms (2015, background): “We concur here with Schneider andWagemann: “Because of its greater generality, we think that one should use fsQCAwhenever possible” (Schneider and Wagemann 2012, 15).”
Studying configurations with qualitative comparative analysis: Best practices in strategy and organization research (2018, background): “Our aim is not to review QCA methodological principles that are discussed elsewhere (e.g. Ragin, 1987, 2000, 2008; Rihoux and Ragin, 2009; Schneider and Wagemann, 2012), but rather to provide a practice-oriented, hands-on guide to produce high-quality QCA research for strategy and organization…”
Critical Tension: Sufficiency and Parsimony in QCA (2019, methodology): “These data are similar to an example from Schneider and Wagemann (2012), where their example had drunk driving as an outcome, and it extends Zhang’s example by an additional observed configuration that nonpregnant 546 Sociological Methods & Research 51(2) females do not drive equally safe.”
Varieties of Capitalism and institutional comparative advantage: A test and reinterpretation (2016, background): “This problem of simultaneous subsets is possible where set membership in causal conditions is very low (Schneider & Wagemann, 2012).”
Latent Profile Analysis (2017, background): “The goal of QCA is to capture complex causation (Schneider & Wagemann, 2012) or groups of interrelated variables which influence an outcome.”
Combining QCA and Process Tracing in Set-Theoretic Multi-Method Research (2013, methodology): “In thisarticle,wespelloutprinciplesforthecombinationofqualitativecasestudies with Qualitative ComparativeAnalysis (QCA),asarguablythe most formalized technique among all set-theoretic methods (Schneider and Wagemann 2012).”
Designing Research With Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA): Approaches, Challenges, and Tools (2020, methodology): “…subset relations and contradictory assumptions prevail when the same configuration is incoherently considered sufficient for both the outcome and its negation or when a configuration implies the outcome despite containing a negated necessary condition (Schneider and Wagemann 2012, 2013).”
Fuzzy Profiles (2018, neutral): “…0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 consistent with empirical evidence but inconsistent with theoretical knowledge [Schneider & Wagemann, 2012]; for a more extended discussion of counterfactual analysis, see Fiss, 2011).7 Regardless of the assumptions made, none of…”
Parsimony and Causality (2015, background): “…ci and ch in a truth-table such that one and the same configuration of conditions is combined with the presence of the outcome in ci and with its absence in ch are often very misleadingly called “contradictory” (cf. e.g. Rihoux and De Meur 2009; Schneider and Wagemann 2012, §5.1; Rubinson 2013).”
Toward a Configurational Perspective on the CEO (2016, background): “Conjunction and asymmetry refer to the notions that any individual approach may be insufficient and that there may not be direct reciprocal or inverse causal effects of the different components in a given configuration, respectively (Greckhamer; Ragin, 2008; Wagemann & Schneider, 2012).”
