Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'As political science has come to depend more and more on quantitative methods, with a significant focus on causal identification (put simply, 'what causes what'), there has been a growing concern that the questions scholars address are getting smaller, shrinking to include only those topics for which the so-called 'identification problem' can be satisfactorily solved. Yet even if this problem cannot yet be solved for many important and complex topics--democracy, inequality, violence, stability, and many more--there is much left to learn; in particular, clear theories that provide better insight into the central mechanisms at work. These theories can help orient new empirical work, thus fueling a virtuous cycle between empirical and theoretical insights. In this ambitious book. Ashworth et al address this key challenge in the field with a new vision of how to connect empirical and theoretical work, one rooted in the idea of 'all else equal.' Theory, the authors argue, implicitly rests of the idea of 'all-else-equal,' and it's precisely this question that empirical work attempts to confirm. Thus theory and empirics have an intrinsic connection, and in recognizing this scholars can bridge the gap between the two. The first part of the book examines the 'all-else-equal' connection and goes on to show how how theoretical models yield empirical implications and how substantive identification is the lynch-pin of a credible research design. The second part then follows the progressive back-and-forth between theory and empirics in existing scholarship, breaking these interactions into five types: reinterpreting, elaboration, distinguishing, disentangling, and modeling the research design. Each chapter in this section provides concrete examples, discussing a handful of papers that illustrates the relevant interaction between theory and empirics. The overall goal of the book is to facilitate a closer and more productive interaction between theory and empirics in social science'.

4pp, 4to. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded four times. Encouraged by Scott's response to his wife's letter, Taylor is 'encouraged to ask for yr. advice in the predicament in which we stand at present. My boy has made hardly any progress in the last term & stands only four fm. the bottom of the upper Fifth.' He explains that on a former occasion he was in favour of 'a change of house & of companions', but that 'the boy was exceedingly averse & I was induced by assurances of doing better to let him go back to Mr Arnold's'. He encloses a letter from Arnold [not present!], and asks whether Scott thinks that 'a beneficial change is practicable': 'Any change might be more or less beneficial, simply because it is a change, & new courses are more easily adopted under new circ[umstanc]es.' He discusses the possibility of 'some strengthening companionship'. He continues: 'Doing as ill as he does, I do not contemplate keeping him at Rugby beyond another term. He is now 17 1/2 yrs. of age. If he had done well I shd have sent him to one of the Universities; but as you observed in one of yr Letters to my wife, no good cd. come of that with no more disposition to get the good he can than has been shown at Rugby.' He considering 'making him a Civil Engineer. Industry of course is essential for success in that - but so of everything else; & something must be tried.' His assessment of his son's abilities is stark: 'He seems to have no particular aptitude for geometry & mathematics but I do not know anything useful & profitable for which he has any special aptitude. He has a love for music - he has a taste for literature - & some powers of expression in it - but so do I, & I do not think that my efforts in that way for 50 years have produced me one year's subsistence'. Taylor's son Henry Ashworth Taylor was for two decades a King's Messenger.
