In QCA: Qualitative Comparative Analysis

University recognition of a graduate student union

Description

Original data used by Caren and Panofsky (2005), and reanalysed by Ragin and Strand (2008).

Usage

data(RS)

Format

A data frame containing 17 cases and the following 6 columns:

P	Public university
E	Support of elite allies
A	National union affiliation
S	Strike or a strike threat
EBA	E happens before A
REC	Union recognition

Details

The causal conditions are P, E, A and S. All of them are binary crisp with two values: 0 = No and 1 = Yes.

The column EBA is not a causal condition, specifying in which case the causal condition E happens before the causal condition A. It has two values (0 = No and 1 = Yes) plus the placeholder "-" to signal a “don't care”.

The outcome is the union recognition EBA, also binary crisp with two values: 0 = No and 1 = Yes.
