Institutions and inflows of foreign direct investment: a fuzzy-set analysis (2008, methodology): “In the fuzzy-set analysis of suffi ciency, I apply the concentration (or containment) rule to eliminate all logical redundancies and thus produce simpler, more inclusive causal arguments (Ragin, 2000).”
Institutional Emergence in an Era of Globalization: The Rise of Transnational Private Regulation of Labor and Environmental Conditions1 (2007, background): “…political and ideological powers—took other possible models off the table and provided opportunities for this particular institutional design. reasonably be portrayed as responding to neoliberal constraints, while the U.S. government appears to have been more willing to push the neoliberal project.”
Understanding the link between communication satisfaction, perceived justice and organizational citizenship behavior (2017, methodology): “QCA is a research methodology in the social sciences which uses a set-theoretic approach and applies Boolean algebra to determine configurations leading to specific outcomes of interest (Fiss, 2007; Ragin, 2000).”
Substitutes or Complements? A Configurational Examination of Corporate Governance Mechanisms (2014, methodology): “80) and Ragin’s (2006b) sug-”
The Cross-National Diversity of Corporate Governance: Dimensions and Determinants (2003, background): “Such conjunctural causation is common in comparative research where diversity emanates from multiple factors (Ragin, 2000).”
Toward a Unified Theory of Causality (2008, methodology): “The extent to which they are probabilistically necessary or probabilistically sufficient can be assessed in practice with one or more available techniques (see Braumoeller & Goertz, 2000; Clark, Gilligan, & Golder, 2006; Dion, 1998; Eliason & Stryker, in press; Ragin, 2000).”
Country-based comparison analysis using fsQCA investigating entrepreneurial attitudes and activity (2016, methodology): “This analysis draws on fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), a set-theoretic technique for causal-oriented investigation (Ragin, 2000, 2008).”
Research Commentary - Seeking the Configurations of Digital Ecodynamics: It Takes Three to Tango (2010, background): “…provided more fine-grained understanding of complex causality, while also developing advanced methodologies that remain connected to the holistic perspective (e.g., Ragin 2000, Fiss 2007, Ragin 2008, Rihoux and Ragin 2009, Fiss 2010, Kogut 2010), thus " not throwing out the baby with the bathwater.”
Democratic Dominoes Revisited (2003, background): “Recent work on the study of necessary conditions, such as Braumoeller and Goertz (2000) or Ragin (2000), has taken this idea of loose necessity much further through the use of fuzzy sets.”
Parental leave regulations and the persistence of the male breadwinner model: Using fuzzy-set ideal type analysis to assess gender equality in an enlarged Europe (2012, methodology): “FSITA has its origin in qualitative comparative analysis and fuzzy-set social sciences as articulated most extensively by Ragin (2000, 2008) and represents a relatively new method of investigation for assessing diversity across a limited number of cases.”
Corporate governance and financial performance: The role of ownership and board structure (2018, methodology): “As Ragin (2000) notes, qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) is a relatively new technique that uses Boolean algebra to compare cases.”
