This design explores variables through qualitative analyses weighing the relative importance of political decisions and — dynamics and quantitative analyses measuring economic variables over time — — —, crafting a mixed-methods picture within the case study. As pictured in this research design includes two chains—one empirical figure 1.4, and one counterfactual chain. The empirical chain establishes through the tracing narrative, while the counterfactual chain is a series of accretive projections that are based initially on the imaged reality of the removal of three critical junctures I identify in the empirical chain. This design’s purpose is to establish the different between measurements of the chosen variables—proxies for the three main categorizations of costs in the aftermath of debt default—in the empirical observations versus the counterfactual projections. The counterfactual analysis presented in Chapter Five uses baseline data from Goskomstat and the OECD to construct three sets of projections from 1998 to 2005 over
