A Solution to the Ecological Inference Problem: Reconstructing Individual Behavior from Aggregate Data

Gary King; Princeton University Press

How can researchers reliably infer individual-level behavior from aggregate (ecological) data? Harvard's Gary King lays out a uniqueand reliablesolution to this venerable problem. Using an example situation, King unifies a set of diverse findings and arrives at a solution that includes over 16,000 comparisons. King's technique will enable empirical researchers to investigate substantive questions that have heretofore proved unanswerable.

Designing Social Inquiry: Scientific Inference in Qualitative Research

Gary King; Robert O. Keohane; Sidney Verba

While heated arguments between practitioners of qualitative and quantitative research have begun to test the very integrity of the social sciences, Gary King, Robert Keohane, and Sidney Verba have produced a farsighted and timely book that promises to sharpen and strengthen a wide range of research performed in this field. These leading scholars, each representing diverse academic traditions, have developed a unified approach to valid descriptive and causal inference in qualitative research, where numerical measurement is either impossible or undesirable. Their book demonstrates that the same logic of inference underlies both good quantitative and good qualitative research designs, and their approach applies equally to each. Providing precepts intended to stimulate and discipline thought, the authors explore issues related to framing research questions, measuring the accuracy of data and uncertainty of empirical inferences, discovering causal effects, and generally improving qualitative research. Among the specific topics they address are interpretation and inference, comparative case studies, constructing causal theories, dependent and explanatory variables, the limits of random selection, selection bias, and errors in measurement. Mathematical notation is occasionally used to clarify concepts, but no prior knowledge of mathematics or statistics is assumed. The unified logic of inference that this book explicates will be enormously useful to qualitative researchers of all traditions and substantive fields.

Unifying Political Methodology: The Likelihood Theory of Statistical Inference

Gary King

Political scientist have collected an enormous quantity of original data, yet in the statistical analysis of these data, they have relied largely on methods borrowed from other disciplines and designed for other purposes. In this book, King demonstrates the utility of the likelihood theory of inference as a unifying approach to statistical modeling for political research. King further provides readers with the means to create new statistical models tailored to their data and theoretical problems. In Part 1, King introduces the fundamentals of his approach and describes the basic likelihood model, using a unified notation in an easily accessible way. In Part II, he applies the likelihood theory to a large variety of more sophisticated statistical models, some new to political science, and others derived here for the first time. This book should stimulate and centralize methodological debate in political science and facilitate the emergence of a new emphasis on methodology in the field.
