<p>There are multiple definitions of case studies, which may emphasize the number of <a href="Observation" title="Observation">observations</a> (a small N), the method (<a href="Qualitative_research" title="Qualitative research">qualitative</a>), the thickness of the research (a comprehensive examination of a phenomenon and its context), and the naturalism (a "real-life context" is being examined) involved in the research.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> There is general agreement among scholars that a case study does not necessarily have to entail one observation (N=1), but can include many observations within a single case or across numerous cases.<sup id="cite_ref-:11_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:11-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:12_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:12-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:13_5-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:13-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:14_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:14-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For example, a case study of the <a href="French_Revolution" title="French Revolution">French Revolution</a> would at the bare minimum be an observation of two observations: France before and after a revolution.<sup id="cite_ref-:16_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:16-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> John Gerring writes that the N=1 research design is so rare in practice that it amounts to a "myth".<sup id="cite_ref-:16_13-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:16-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The term <i>cross-case</i> research is frequently used for studies of multiple cases, whereas <i>within-case</i> research is frequently used for a single case study.<sup id="cite_ref-:13_5-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:13-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:15_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:15-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>John Gerring defines the case study approach as an "intensive study of a single unit or a small number of units (the cases), for the purpose of understanding a larger class of similar units (a population of cases)".<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> According to Gerring, case studies lend themselves to an <a href="Nomothetic_and_idiographic" title="Nomothetic and idiographic">idiographic</a> style of analysis, whereas <a href="Quantitative_research" title="Quantitative research">quantitative</a> work lends itself to a <a href="Nomothetic_and_idiographic" title="Nomothetic and idiographic">nomothetic</a> style of analysis.<sup id="cite_ref-:20_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:20-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He adds that "the defining feature of qualitative work is its use of noncomparable observations—observations that pertain to different aspects of a causal or descriptive question", whereas quantitative observations are comparable.<sup id="cite_ref-:20_15-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:20-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>According to John Gerring, the key characteristic that distinguishes case studies from all other methods is the "reliance on evidence drawn from a single case and its attempts, at the same time, to illuminate features of a broader set of cases".<sup id="cite_ref-:16_13-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:16-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Scholars use case studies to shed light on a "class" of phenomena.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Research_design">Research design</h2></div>
<p>As with other social science methods, no single research design dominates case study research. Case studies can use at least four types of designs. First, there may be a "no theory first" type of case <a href="Study_design" class="mw-redirect" title="Study design">study design</a>, which is closely connected to <a href="Kathleen_M._Eisenhardt" title="Kathleen M. Eisenhardt">Kathleen M. Eisenhardt</a>'s methodological work.<sup id="cite_ref-Ridder2017_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Ridder2017-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Eisenhardt1991_17-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Eisenhardt1991-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A second type of research design highlights the distinction between single- and multiple-case studies, following <a href="Robert_K._Yin" title="Robert K. Yin">Robert K. Yin</a>'s guidelines and extensive examples.<sup id="cite_ref-Ridder2017_16-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Ridder2017-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Yin_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Yin-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A third design deals with a "social construction of reality", represented by the work of <a href="Robert_E._Stake" title="Robert E. Stake">Robert E.

A representative scholar of this design is <a href="Michael_Burawoy" title="Michael Burawoy">Michael Burawoy</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Ridder2017_16-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Ridder2017-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Burawoy2009_19-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Burawoy2009-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Each of these four designs may lead to different applications, and understanding their sometimes unique <a href="Ontology" title="Ontology">ontological</a> and <a href="Epistemology" title="Epistemology">epistemological</a> assumptions becomes important. However, although the designs can have substantial methodological differences, the designs also can be used in explicitly acknowledged combinations with each other.
</p><p>While case studies can be intended to provide bounded explanations of single cases or phenomena, they are often intended to raise theoretical insights about the features of a broader population.<sup id="cite_ref-:2_20-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Case_selection_and_structure">Case selection and structure</h3></div>
<p>Case selection in case study research is generally intended to find cases that are representative samples and which have variations on the dimensions of theoretical interest.<sup id="cite_ref-:2_20-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Using that is solely representative, such as an average or typical case is often not the richest in information. In clarifying lines of history and causation it is more useful to select subjects that offer an interesting, unusual, or particularly revealing set of circumstances. A case selection that is based on representativeness will seldom be able to produce these kinds of insights.
</p><p>While a random selection of cases is a valid case selection strategy in <a href="Big_data" title="Big data">large-N</a> research, there is a consensus among scholars that it risks generating serious biases in small-N research.<sup id="cite_ref-:6_21-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:6-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:3_22-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:3-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:2_20-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:18_23-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:18-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Random selection of cases may produce unrepresentative cases, as well as uninformative cases.<sup id="cite_ref-:18_23-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:18-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Cases should generally be chosen that have a high expected information gain.<sup id="cite_ref-:7_24-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:7-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:2_20-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:9_25-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:9-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For example, <a href="Outlier" title="Outlier">outlier</a> cases (those which are extreme, deviant or atypical) can reveal more information than the potentially representative case.<sup id="cite_ref-:9_25-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:9-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Huang2015_26-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Huang2015-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Underwood2016_27-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Underwood2016-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A case may also be chosen because of the inherent interest of the case or the circumstances surrounding it. Alternatively, it may be chosen because of researchers' in-depth local knowledge; where researchers have this local knowledge they are in a position to "soak and poke" as <a href="Richard_Fenno" title="Richard Fenno">Richard Fenno</a> put it,<sup id="cite_ref-Fenno2014_28-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Fenno2014-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and thereby to offer reasoned lines of explanation based on this rich knowledge of setting and circumstances.
</p><p>Beyond decisions about case selection and the subject and object of the study, decisions need to be made about the purpose, approach, and process of the case study. <a href="Gary_Thomas_(academic)" title="Gary Thomas (academic)">Gary Thomas</a> thus proposes a typology for the case study wherein purposes are first identified (evaluative or exploratory), then approaches are delineated (theory-testing, theory-building, or illustrative), then processes are decided upon, with a principal choice being between whether the study is to be single or multiple, and choices also about whether the study is to be retrospective, snapshot or diachronic, and whether it is nested, parallel or sequential.<sup id="cite_ref-Thomas_29-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Thomas-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>In a 2015 article, John Gerring and Jason Seawright list seven case selection strategies:<sup id="cite_ref-:2_20-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<ol><li>Typical cases are cases that exemplify a stable cross-case relationship. These cases are representative of the larger population of cases, and the purpose of the study is to look <i>within</i> the case rather than compare it with other cases.</li>
<li>Diverse cases are cases that have variations on the relevant X and Y variables. Due to the range of variation on the relevant variables, these cases are representative of the full population of cases.</li>
<li>Extreme cases are cases that have an extreme value on the X or Y variable relative to other cases.</li>
<li>Deviant cases are cases that defy existing theories and common sense. They not only have extreme values on X or Y (like extreme cases) but defy existing knowledge about causal relations.</li>
<li>Influential cases are cases that are central to a model or theory (for example, Nazi Germany in theories of fascism and the far-right).</li>
<li>Most similar cases are cases that are similar on all the <a href="Independent_variables" class="mw-redirect" title="Independent variables">independent variables</a>, except the one of interest to the researcher.</li>
<li>Most different cases are cases that are different on all the independent variables, except the one of interest to the researcher.</li></ol>
<p>For theoretical discovery, Jason Seawright recommends using deviant cases or extreme cases that have an extreme value on the X variable.<sup id="cite_ref-:9_25-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:9-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p><a href="Arend_Lijphart" title="Arend Lijphart">Arend Lijphart</a>, and <a href="Harry_H._Eckstein" title="Harry H.

</p>
<ol><li>Atheoretical (or configurative idiographic) case studies aim to describe a case very well, but not to contribute to a theory.</li>
<li>Interpretative (or disciplined configurative) case studies aim to use established theories to explain a specific case.</li>
<li>Hypothesis-generating (or heuristic) case studies aim to inductively identify new variables, hypotheses, causal mechanisms, and causal paths.</li>
<li>Theory testing case studies aim to assess the validity and scope conditions of existing theories.</li>
<li>Plausibility probes, aim to assess the plausibility of new hypotheses and theories.</li>
<li>Building block studies of types or subtypes, aim to identify common patterns across cases.</li></ol>
<p>Aaron Rapport reformulated "least-likely" and "most-likely" case selection strategies into the "countervailing conditions" case selection strategy. The countervailing conditions case selection strategy has three components:<sup id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<ol><li>The chosen cases fall within the scope conditions of both the primary theory being tested and the competing alternative hypotheses.</li>
<li>For the theories being tested, the analyst must derive clearly stated expected outcomes.</li>
<li>In determining how difficult a test is, the analyst should identify the strength of countervailing conditions in the chosen cases.</li></ol>
<p>In terms of case selection, <a href="Gary_King_(political_scientist)" title="Gary King (political scientist)">Gary King</a>, <a href="Robert_Keohane" title="Robert Keohane">Robert Keohane</a>, and <a href="Sidney_Verba" title="Sidney Verba">Sidney Verba</a> warn against "selecting on the <a href="Dependent_variable" class="mw-redirect" title="Dependent variable">dependent variable</a>".

The primary problem is that qualitative research lacks a sufficient number of observations to properly estimate the effects of an independent variable.
