TEXTS IN QUANTITATIVE POLITICAL ANALYSIS CAUS...

This volume provides a methodological toolbox for conducting policy research. Recognizing that
policy research spans various academic disciplines  each of which takes a different view on
causality  the volume introduces a methodologically pluralistic approach to policy studies.
Each chapter clarifies the research question that each technique can answer  the research
design and data treatment that each technique requires for its results to be sound  the
validity domain of its results  and the actual deployment of the technique through a replicable
example. Techniques covered include quasi-experimental designs  approaches to account for
selection bias and observed imbalances  directed acyclic graphs and structural equation models
Qualitative Comparative Analysis  Bayesian case study and process tracing  and Agent-Based
Modelling. By working through the volume  readers will understand how to learn from different
techniques  apply them consciously  and triangulate them to make better sense of findings. This
volume is intended for advanced academic courses  as well as scholars and practitioners in
policy-related fields  such as political science  economics  sociology  and public
administration. This is an open access book.
