Dear all,
Most of current QCA research is cross-sectional. Although these studies often call for longitudinal QCA in the discussion section, only a few of scholars have tried to extend QCA approach to the panel data context.
For example, Garcia-Castro and Ariño (2016) extend the traditional consistency to three new indicators, i.e. pool consistency, between consistency, and within consistency. However, this approach may cause some confusion as the analytical basis of set-theoretical method and panel data regression model are different.
I hope that we can start a discussion on this topic.
Thank you!
