The participants will have a greater understanding of:

-Different purposes and uses of various theory-based causal analyses

-Various causal theories that can be used in the evaluation

-Good practice in case selection for case-based causal analysis

-Applications of theory-based causal analysis using process tracing

-Good practice in building generalizability of causal claims

This workshop covers the following topics: review of various causal theories and their affiliated theory-based evaluation methods; fundamentals of designing a theory-based case-based causal analysis; applications using within case causal analysis such as Process Tracing; and applications to enhance generalizability of causal claims through cross-case causal analysis (including brief introduction of QCA).
