我很高兴地宣布：My book, co-authored with Claudius Wagemann, “Set-Theoretic Methods for the Social Sciences” (2012) is now available in Chinese. I learn that the middle initial Q. translates as Q. in Chinese.
Special thanks to @ingorohlfing.bsky.social, with whom I kicked off the SMMR project; and @nenaoana.bsky.social, who crucially helped with refining the conceptual ideas and with implementing them into the smmr() function in R. www.cambridge.org/9781009307192. 20% discount with code STMMR23.
Are you interested in enhancing your descriptive and causal inference by combining QCA with case studies? Happy to see my book out now. Descriptive and causal inference is enhanced by returning to cases after QCA. SMMR spells out the principles and practices of selecting the best cases in the data.
