Assessing the respective potential of Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), Fuzzy Sets and other techniques : applications

Abstract

What are the respective qualities and limits of the “fuzzy sets” versus the “crisp sets”, i.e. the dichotomous logic of QCA? In addition, what are the respective merits of these techniques versus other existing (or newly developing) techniques? In what way can these techniques be improved or further enriched? Papers in this panel discuss these issues on the basis of concrete applications.
