Charles RAGIN's work, especially his development of Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), offers social scientists a way of bringing together the strengths of the qualitative and quantitative traditions. QCA takes a case-based rather than a variable-based analytic approach to cross-case analysis. One problem that arises in attempting to use QCA to explore causation in larger datasets, especially ...

Our aim is to investigate trends in the prevalence of grandparent households over time (that is households including a grandparent-grandchild dyad) in selected European countries and the United States. We also identify the socio-economic and demographic characteristics associated with variations in such households. Given changes in family behaviour (for example, rises in divorce and step-families) ...

In this paper I evaluate the effect of student aid on the success of academic studies. I focus on two dimensions, the duration of study and the probability of actually graduating with a degree. While there is an extensive literature on the impact of student aid on its intended outcome, the uptake of tertiary education, the impact on the outcome and on study incentives has been mainly ignored. But introducing ...

Are responses to a simple survey item sufficiently reliable in eliciting risk attitudes? Our angle in examining reliability is to conduct comparative research across Thailand and Vietnam. We find, first, that the survey item is informative about individual risk attitude because it is plausibly related to socio-demographic characteristics (including vulnerability), it is experimentally validated and ...

This method overcomes certain difficulties involved in the methods of Rodgers & Rodgers (1993). The characteristics ...
