Summary
Adding explicit qualitative techniques to experimental research can strengthen a project by facilitating tests of key assumptions and offering chances for inductive discovery. Scholars planning an experiment should consider adding qualitative components to explore the meaning of the treatment, the measurement of the outcome, the exhaustiveness of the intended interpretation of the treatment, the existence of network effects and spillover, and reasons for differences in causal effects among groups within the experiment or across settings for the experiment.
