Concepts and Research of Economic Resilience of Regions

Grzegorz Masik¹

Abstract: Streszczenie: Celem artykułu jest przegląd koncepcji i badań dotyczących odporności gospodarczej. Istnieją trzy podstawowe interpretacje decydujące o zakresie analiz: odporność inżynieryjna, ekologiczna i adaptatywna. W ramach wyróżnionych koncepcji odporności bada się podążanie regionów do stanu równowagi, ich funkcjonowanie jako złożonych i adaptatywnych systemów oraz wdrażane w przeszłości strategie pozwalające budować ich odporność na zakłócenia zewnętrzne. Badania z tego zakresu skupiają się na analizie w… Show more

“…Studies of this type were conducted either on a global scale (Godfrey & Zhou 1999, Alderson & Beckfield 2004, Taylor & Csomós 2012, on a continental scale (Csomós & Derudder 2014, or on a regional scale . Diversification of the economy is an important element of the stabilisation and strengthening of regions (Masik 2016(Masik , 2019 and cities , which is an important element in the event of an economic crisis. The concept of the command and control function takes into account the presence of the largest corporations and their financial results.…”

The aim of this paper is to discuss changes in the spatial distribution of cities that perform the command and control function created by the largest corporations, based on the method of gravity centres. The analysis was performed both for individual sectors of the economy as well as for the global scale. A shift occurred in an easterly direction. This also pertains to sector indices, although the centroids of knowledge-based sectors, such as information technology and healthcare, shifted the most in the direction of Asia. At the same time, information technology was the only sector whose centroid shifted to the west in the study period. Moreover, the magnitude of the shift of the centre of gravity of the number of corporate headquarters in the studied cities does not converge to the shift of the centroid based on the value of the financial potential of the companies.

The aim of this article is to review definitions of “resilience”, including regional and urban resilience, as well as to describe the interpretations of the terms. An effort is also made to identify the approaches taken to strengthen resilience in practice, as well as research approaches. Relevant literature is reviewed, and schools of thoughts regarding adaptability are also indicated. The review of the definitions of resilience shows how many emphasise the existence of external threats which it is first and foremost important for socio-ecological systems to withstand, before being in a position to mitigate effects, adapt to new circumstances, and also undergo transformation. Only less often is attention paid to internal factors that may lead to disturbances, but also favour or force reorganisation of a system. Newer definitions also highlight component elements of systems, such as individuals, households and communities; while highlighting issues of social inclusion. Notions of regional resilience most often relate to the economy, while definitions of urban resilience more often invoke urban functions and systems (including infrastructure aimed at preventing negative natural phenomena), as well as covering social issues. The literature in essence offers three distinguishable interpretations in resilience studies. These are important insofar as the acceptance of the appropriate one determines further research procedure, and even conclusions as to what is or is not a resilient system. It is engineering resilience, ecological resilience and evolutionary resilience that can be identified. Initially, it was the engineering-related interpretation that dominated in resilience research, even as today use is often made of a systemic approach referring to the interpretation of evolutionary (adaptive) resilience. On the other hand, transformational abilities are more and more often indicated as features of key importance to the building of resilient socio-ecological systems. Review of the literature on resilience shows that, among the approaches of practical value to its strengthening it is possible to distinguish such approaches as those involving disaster risk reduction, climate-change adaptation, social-ecological aspects, complex adaptive systems, livelihood, and agencies and institutions. Among the research approaches taken to the concept of resilience, it is possible to distinguish the equilibrium-related, systems perspectives, path dependence and the long view. And where schools of thought are concerned, there is a human capital agglomeration view; and industrial structure, economic variety and innovation approach considered along with the application of digital technologies in smart cities; and a third school putting the emphasis on institutions.
