Country-based comparison analysis using fsQCA investigating entrepreneurial attitudes and activity (2016, background): “The choice of the consistency threshold for the raw consistency measure affects the strength of evidence that subsequent analyses use (Ragin, 2006).”
De facto independence after delegation: A fuzzy‐set analysis (2007, methodology): “14 When we apply the procedure described by Ragin (2006) to the study of consistency, we obtain similar combinations of jointly sufficient conditions (with some simple adjustments).”
Building Better Causal Theories: A Fuzzy Set Approach to Typologies in Organization Research (2011, methodology): “I set the lowest acceptable consistency for solutions at 0.80, which is again above the minimum recommended threshold of 0.75 (e.g., Ragin, 2006, 2008).”
Poverty and the varieties of entrepreneurship in the pursuit of prosperity (2020, background): “It simply proves that perfectly consistent set relations are relatively rare in social research (Ragin, 2006), which in turn brings to light the shortcoming of the restrictive assumption of causal necessity inherent to the linear understanding of the entrepreneurship and poverty relationship.6 T:…”

Tourist engagement and loyalty: gender matters? (2020, methodology): “In fsQCA, using Boolean algebra, a series of sufficient combination of conditions (also called configurations, recipes, or causal models) are identified to predict or generate an outcome (Olya & Gavilyan, 2017; Ragin, 2006).”
