Welcome to my personal homepage! My primary research and teaching interests are social science methods with an emphasis on causal inference, qualitative and multimethod research, and research transparency and reproducibility. Substantively, I sometimes work on political parties and party politics.
- At the ICPSR summer program, I offer a 5-day remote introductory workshop on Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA, July 24-28). You will learn the fundamentals of QCA and how to do a sound QCA study using RStudion. More information here, use “QCA” as a keyword to see the workshop information. Please send me an email for any questions you may have.
- New journal publication by Felix Bethke and me: How do researchers choose their goals of inference? A survey experiment on the effects of the state of research and method preferences on the choice between research goals.
