Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA): State of the Art and Prospects
Unformatted Document Text:  19 provides a blueprint for confronting these vacancies in the vector space with theoretical and substantive knowledge and avoiding the homogenizing assumptions (e.g., linearity and additivity, to mention those two most known assumptions) that quantitative researchers usually fall back on. In conclusion, much remains to be done in this field. There is plenty of innovative work lying ahead, both in terms of methodological/epistemological reflections, further improvement of tools (software in particular), inventive exploitation of these tools, and use of QCA-related techniques in more “academic” as well as more “applied” (in particular policy-oriented) research.

provides a blueprint for confronting these vacancies in the vector space with theoretical and
substantive knowledge and avoiding the homogenizing assumptions (e.g., linearity and
additivity, to mention those two most known assumptions) that quantitative researchers
usually fall back on.
In conclusion, much remains to be done in this field. There is plenty of innovative work
lying ahead, both in terms of methodological/epistemological reflections, further
improvement of tools (software in particular), inventive exploitation of these tools, and use
of QCA-related techniques in more “academic” as well as more “applied” (in particular
policy-oriented) research.
