Zusammenfassung: | Regions around the world suffered asymmetric effects with the global economic crisis of the last decade. European regions were not different, and a myriad of impacts with varied magnitudes was felt. This article, inspired by the literature of varieties of capitalism (VoC), presents statistical and econometric evidence about the differences of regional resilience, measured by the variation of economic product, unemployment and R&D across regions in European Union during the economic downturn. An exploratory approach analyses the socio‐economic resilience between different member states, and VoC ideal‐types (liberal market economies, the continental capitalism, the social‐democrat economies, the Mediterranean capitalism, and the Eastern economies). The study presents a typology of resilience clusters in European regions. There were found six types of profiles concerning resilience: great performers, fast growth, intermediate position, R&D reduction, regions in divergence, and Mediterranean regions in big trouble. The study identifies key aspects for resilience, providing policy implications for regional economic policies. The comparison of the resilience clusters and the original VoC categorization has implications for this branch of literature as it does not completely address the variety of regional answers to the shocks.
Las regiones de todo el mundo han sufrido efectos asimétricos con la crisis económica mundial de la última década. Las regiones europeas no fueron diferentes, y se sintieron una multitud de impactos con diferentes magnitudes. Este artículo, inspirado en la bibliografía sobre las variedades del capitalismo (VdC), presenta evidencia estadística y econométrica sobre las diferencias en la resiliencia regional, medida por la variación del producto económico, el desempleo y la I+D entre las regiones de la Unión Europea durante la ralentización económica. Un enfoque exploratorio analiza la resiliencia socioeconómica entre los diferentes estados miembros y los tipos ideales de VdC (economías de mercado liberales, capitalismo continental, economías socialdemócratas, capitalismo mediterráneo y las economías del Este). El estudio presenta una tipología de conglomerados de resiliencia en las regiones europeas. Se encontraron seis tipos de perfiles relativos a la resiliencia: grandes resultados, crecimiento rápido, posición intermedia, reducción de la I+D, regiones en divergencia y regiones mediterráneas con grandes problemas. El estudio identifica lo |
