Integrated Inferences

Autor Macartan Humphreys, Alan M Jacobs
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 noi 2023
There is a growing consensus in the social sciences on the virtues of research strategies that combine quantitative with qualitative tools of inference. Integrated Inferences develops a framework for using causal models and Bayesian updating for qualitative and mixed-methods research. By making, updating, and querying causal models, researchers are able to integrate information from different data sources while connecting theory and empirics in a far more systematic and transparent manner than standard qualitative and quantitative approaches allow. This book provides an introduction to fundamental principles of causal inference and Bayesian updating and shows how these tools can be used to implement and justify inferences using within-case (process tracing) evidence, correlational patterns across many cases, or a mix of the two. The authors also demonstrate how causal models can guide research design, informing choices about which cases, observations, and mixes of methods will be most useful for addressing any given question.

Recenzii

'An ambitious attempt to understand and test qualitative theories in social science by embedding their design and analysis into a quantitative Bayesian framework, this book will give economists, political scientists, and other researchers a lot to chew on for years to come.' Andrew Gelman, Professor of Statistics and Political Science, Columbia University
