“…In line with our findings regarding the recovery rate, [34] stress that regions that performed well before the crisis were not able to achieve a quicker recovery, while [12] observe that developed counties recover more quickly after the economic shocks, but the typology of economic recovery illustrates a variety of situations, depending on the indicator taken into consideration as a measure for resilience (GDP or employment). However, our analysis goes deeper into the administrative layering, attempting to identify resilient administrative units at the lowest level.…”

“…A major economic shock usually increases the number of unemployed workers in a community and might make a major contribution to a slower recovery of the communities involved. The business activity indicators used in our study as a measure of economic intensity and entrepreneurial initiative are variables used in several resilience models, which assess the features and evolution of the business environment [34] or measure entrepreneurial density [35,36]. Another measure of local economic development relates to the real estate market and attractiveness of the community.…”

“…Common methods for measuring economic diversity include approaches, like computing the sector shares of economic activity in relation to a reference area (usually the national level), measuring the export level of goods, or simply measuring the share of economic activity across the different sectors in the local economy or single-sector dependence. Diversification indices are used as resilience drivers in several studies [33,34,43,44,54].…”

Urban or Rural: Does It Make A Difference for Economic Resilience? A Modelling Study on Economic and Cultural Geography in Romania

This article aims at investigating and measuring the economic resilience of local communities (43 urban and 403 rural) in Romania. The study focuses on the implications of the deep economic and financial crisis from 2008 to 2011 and explores the capacity of Romanian local economies in the North-West region to respond to these events. The research consists of developing an appropriate framework for assessing and quantifying community economic resilience, based on previous research of existing literature, and of measuring local economic development through a composite indicator by aggregating a series of variables using principal component analysis. The results show some striking differences between urban and rural communities in terms of impact, recovery, and performance compared with a pre-crisis level. Through regression analysis we were able to not only identify the determinants/explanatory factors for high-impact resilience that helped the recovery after an economic shock, but also the resilience drivers for ‘bouncing forward’ after the crisis, for both urban and rural communities. Our findings show an interesting change in the regional economy: some economic activities from the large urban areas in Romania moved to the nearby rural areas.

“…Animal husbandry is an important branch of agriculture, which aims to breed, reproduce, and improve farm animals [2]. The breeding and improvement of animal breeds are necessary for providing the population with good quality animal products, by developing the food and light industry and ensuring the necessary raw materials for these industries [17]. Livestock plays a key role in capitalizing the plant production and transforming it into animal products [20], [23].…”

Ethical Context of Entrepreneurship in the Swine Breeding Sector of Romania

et al. 2020

This paper is of particular importance in the development of a business, taking into accountthe ethical issues arising from the livestock sector, with a focus on the pig sector, for Romanian agriculture. Following an analysis carried out in the Romanian pig sector, it was concluded thatthe share of pig breeding had been decreased as regards the intensive farming, and 70% of them were found in rural households, particularly vulnerable in economic crisis conditions. Pork consumption has increased due to largely pork imports, which contributes to a negative trade balance in this sector. However, for 2015-2019 period, the production of live pigs and pig meat is expected to increase, due to increased financial support, by creating new modern farms applying the latest breeding technologies, ensuring a complete biosecurity system 'from farm to fork', having access to structural funds and also respecting the EU quality standards.
