A popular research technique in the early decades of empirical sociology, analytic induction differs fundamentally as a method of social research from conventional variation-based approaches. In Analytic Induction for Social Research, Charles C. Ragin demonstrates that much is gained from systematizing analytic induction. The approach he introduces here offers a new template for conducting cross-case analysis and provides a new set of tools for answering common research questions that existing methods cannot address.Social sciencesResearchInduction (Logic)Analysis (Philosophy)Social sciencesResearch.Induction (Logic)Analysis (Philosophy)300.72Ragin Charles C., authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.120151DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910724315203321UNINA
