Question

A Charles Ragin book titled in response to this text presents an argument that this book has ignored his use of fuzzy sets and Boolean logic to extend qualitative analysis. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this seminal 1994 methods textbook that sought to provide a scientific backbone to qualitative analysis in political science. You may give the title or the three-letter acronym by which it is often referred.
ANSWER: Designing Social Inquiry: Scientific Inference in Qualitative Research [or KKV or King, Keohane, Verba]
[10e] In KKV’s inferential framework, theories underlying qualitative designs can achieve this status by producing “observable implications.” Karl Popper argued that, to be scientific, a theory must have this status.
ANSWER: falsifiable [or refutable; accept word forms such as falsifiability; reject “false”]
[10m] A section of KKV devoted to this bias uses the example of [read slowly] predicting the likelihood of a coup in sub-Saharan African countries by the level of political repression in the country, but not controlling for economic conditions.
ANSWER: omitted variable bias
