Study Notes
Regional Resilience and Related Variety in Italy
- Italian regions experienced varying responses to the 2008 Great Recession
- Regional resilience is the capacity to adapt to external shocks
- Related variety, encompassing the diversification of industrial domains with shared competencies, is a key component of regional resilience
- Related variety positively impacts regional short-term resilience to economic shocks (2010-2013)
- Related variety shows a negligible role in short-term resilience (2012-2013)
- Regions with higher related variety demonstrated a greater capacity to adapt to the 2008 economic recession over a three-year period (2010-2013).
- The study uses spatial econometric techniques to explore the relationship between related variety and regional resilience.
- The study focused on local labor markets (LLM) across Italy using data from the 2008 recession aftermath.
- Key concept of related variety emphasizes the presence of diversified industrial domains, fostering shared competencies across industries.
Measuring Regional Resilience
-
Resilience is measured as the ratio of regional employment decline to the decline of the country's employment or output following the 2008 recession.
-
A positive resilience index greater than zero signified greater resilience, while a negative index indicated greater sensitivity to shocks.
-
Spatial Econometric techniques used to model the impact of spatial relationships.
-
The study used three-year (2010–2013) and one-year (2012–2013) periods to evaluate the economic resilience in Italian LLMs, post-recession.
Related Variety
- Related variety is based on employment data for five-digit economic activity, employing an index developed from employment data at the LLM level for 2001 (related variety 2001).
- A related variety index calculated to evaluate relatedness considering two-digit economic activities.
- High related variety index signifies strong related diversification, enabling efficient resource reallocation across industries.
