Speaking of completing one's dissertation - do you think that a =
quantitative project should take less or more time to complete, compared =
to a theoretical-qualitative study?

Personally, I am deeply oriented towards quantitative work, and I can't =
see myself heavily involved in works that don't produce any numerical =
indices, but what surprised me the most to see was that quantitative =
projects sometimes take less time to complete. Apparently, I would have =
expected qualitative research to cost less money and to require less =
time plan (unless one's project deals with a very rare phenomenon). =
Apparently, at least where I do my doctorate (Israel) things seem to =
move in the opposite direction. Any comments?

Amir
