Abstract

The objective of this paper is to explain academic performance with the aid of an innovative technique: Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA). To do so, different objective factors, which affect higher education, are analyzed and the academic performance of university students is also considered. Specifically, data of students on different degrees in the Faculty of Business Sciences of the Pablo de Olavide University of Seville since 2009 was used, but it is believed that the methodology described can be easily extrapolated.
