Our top journal is called MIS Quarterly, not Causality Quarterly. Or is it? How should we go about building and testing causal explanations in our research and how do different approaches to causality complement each other? We invited Sunil Mithas, Ling Xue, Nina Huang, and Andrew Burton-Jones as our guests. They recently published an editorial on this topic and we use this opportunity to pick their brains about experiments, econometrics, counterfactual, correlational and configurational views of establishing causality.

As usual, the references to readings we mention are listed on http://www.janrecker.com/this-is-research-podcast/.
