Abstract

This chapter highlights and defends a mixed-method approach to explaining capitalist divergence. The chapter discusses major research questions, relevant variables, hypotheses, and predicted outcomes. I draw attention to other studies applying similar techniques, specifically those using panel-corrected standard errors (PCSE) analysis supplemented by process-tracing case studies.
