Sara Davies has published a new paper in the Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society on regional resilience in the 2008:2010 downturn, comparing evidence across regions in Europe.
It shows that economic resilience was weaker in manufacturing regions in 2009 but not 2010, and that the resilience of regions with high rates of construction employment was mainly low in regions affected by asset bubbles.
It also examines the regional dimensions of fiscal stimulus and tightening packages in 2008:2012 within European countries, and how their regional impact has varied, depending on political decisions and existing institutional frameworks.
