Contradictions in fsQCA

Claude Rubinson ()

Quality & Quantity: International Journal of Methodology, 2013, vol. 47, issue 5, 2847-2867

Abstract: The lack of support for contradictions in fsQCA limits the method’s usefulness for conducting inductive research. In this paper, I describe how to extend fsQCA to accommodate contradictory conditions. I review kirq (Reichert and Rubinson 2011 ), a new software package for QCA that includes support for fuzzy-set contradictions. For researchers using software that does not support fuzzy-set contradictions, I describe how to identify them by hand. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2013
