| Tiivistelmä: | In the article, discussed is the role that case studies, built on open-ended interviews with economic actors, can play in economic research. It is argued that such material cannot be treated directly as empirical evidence. Rather, it provides a way of building theory, by offering a critical perspective on the theoretical assumptions and by offering alternatives for constructing theoretical models. Several alternative ways are illustrated with examples from research. |
