Configurational Path to Financing Performance of Crowdfunding Projects Using Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis

Configurational Path to Financing Performance of Crowdfunding Projects Using Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis

Different from most of the existing studies, this paper analyzes the financing performance of crowdfunding projects in an asymmetric way. First of all, 14 antecedent conditions of the project performance are extracted through the review on the existing research. Secondly, a cross-tabulation analysis is carried out to explore the main and contrarian effects of the antecedent conditions based on ...

Using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis

Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (Fs/QCA) is a social science me thod developed in order to combine case-oriented and variable-oriented quantitative analysis. It started with the creation of qualitative comparative analysis [1], with Fs/QCA later developed by applying fuzzy-set theory [2]. Although the fuzzy-set approach is still considered to be in the process of being developed [3-5...

Identifying the configurational paths to innovation in SMEs: A fuzzy- set qualitative comparative analysis

Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis

Sets can be subsets of larger sets. For example, the set of grad students is a subset of the set of university students. The set of cats is a subset of the set of mammals. Sometimes, these subsets are definitional (as in the previous examples), but sometimes they can be causal. For example, the set of students who studied constitute a subset of students who did well on the test. The set of zip ...

Comparative Employment Performance: A Fuzzy-Set Analysis

Much of the debate about comparative employment performance in recent decades has focused on the impact of labor market institutions and policies. A number of studies have found that institutions and policies that restrict or regulate market processes for example, wage compression, employment protection regulations, high taxes, generous unemployment benefits have adverse effects on employment o...
