d.autonomy

This dataset is from Basurto (2013), who analyzes the causes of the emergence and endurance of autonomy among local institutions for biodiversity conservation in Costa Rica between 1986 and 2006.

datasets

Provides comprehensive functionalities for causal modeling with Coincidence Analysis (CNA), which is a configurational comparative method of causal data analysis that was first introduced in Baumgartner (2009) <doi:10.1177/0049124109339369>, and generalized in Baumgartner & Ambuehl (2018) <doi:10.1017/psrm.2018.45>. CNA is designed to recover INUS-causation from data, which is particularly relevant for analyzing processes featuring conjunctural causation (component causation) and equifinality (alternative causation). CNA is currently the only method for INUS-discovery that allows for multiple effects (outcomes/endogenous factors), meaning it can analyze common-cause and causal chain structures.

d.autonomy function

The data frame contains 30 rows (cases), which are divided in two halves: rows 1 to 14 comprise data on the emergence of local autonomy between 1986 and 1998, rows 15 to 30 comprise data on the endurance of local autonomy between 1998 and 2006. The data has the following 9 columns featuring fuzzy-set factors:
<table class="table">
<tr><td>[ , 1]</td><td>AU</td><td>local autonomy (ultimate outcome)</td><td>[ , 2]</td></tr>
<tr><td>EM</td><td>local communal involvement through direct employment</td><td>[ , 3]</td><td>SP</td></tr>
<tr><td>local direct spending</td><td>[ , 4]</td><td>CO</td><td>co-management with local or regional stakeholders</td></tr>
