As we said in 2017: if academic freedom is under attack in Hungary and we don’t fight back, it will be under attack sooner than later in other countries, too. #CEU #Harvard

Quite amazing for the American VP to be giving lessons on liberty to Europeans while his boss bans the Associated Press from news briefings because it calls the Gulf of Mexico by its actual name.
The White House says it is banning the Associated Press from the Oval Office and Air Force One.

我很高兴地宣布:My book, co-authored with Claudius Wagemann, “Set-Theoretic Methods for the Social Sciences” (2012) is now available in Chinese. I learn that the middle initial Q. translates as Q. in Chinese.

Are you interested in enhancing your descriptive and causal inference by combining QCA with case studies? Happy to see my book out now.
Descriptive and causal inference is enhanced by returning to cases after QCA. SMMR spells out the principles and practices of selecting the best cases in the data.
