eursr-theory-building

separate

Use when building the theoretical argument of a European Sociological Review (ESR) manuscript into a portable mechanism with testable hypotheses — typically a macro–micro (institution → individual outcome) account suited to comparative or longitudinal quantitative work. ESR rewards a mechanism that travels over a coefficient bound to one country or wave. Structures the argument; it does not run analyses.

When to use

• building theoretical argument
• creating portable mechanism
• deriving testable hypotheses
• structuring macro-micro account
• stating scope conditions
• reconciling cross-national patterns with individual-level explanations

When not to use

• running analyses
