How Regions React to Recessions: Resilience and the Role of Economic Structure (2016, background): “Subsequent studies have likewise assigned a similar importance to regional economic structure, and to the possible implications of structural diversity (or variety) versus specialization for cyclical stability (e.g., SHERWOOD-CALL, 1990; SIEGEL et al., 1994, 1995; DISSART, 2003; ORMEROD, 2008).”
Regional Economic Resilience, Hysteresis and Recessionary Shocks (2012, background): “…(1975) demonstrated in some detail how a region’s industrial ‘portfolio’ - its particular mix of economic activities and the relationships and interdependencies between them - can influence the reaction of a region’s economy to recessionary disturbances and fluctuations (see also Dissart, 2003).”
On the notion of regional economic resilience: conceptualization and explanation (2015, background): “31 for example, has been over whether sectoral specialization or diversification is the more conducive to (export-led) regional growth and stability (for example, Conroy, 1975; Siegel et al, 1995; Dissart, 2003).”
The role of industrial diversity in economic resilience: An empirical examination across 35 years (2017, background): “Not only has economic diversity been found to be positively correlated with increases in economic stability (Dissart, 2003), but risk spreading may help adaptation, especially in vulnerable communities (Kelly and Adger, 2000; Kelman, 2005).”
Towards an Evolutionary Perspective on Regional Resilience (2015, background): “In other words, industrial variety in a region spreads risks and can better accommodate idiosyncratic sector-specific shocks (DISSART, 2003; ESSLETZBICHLER, 2007; DAVIES and TONTS, 2010; DESROCHERS and LEPPALA, 2011).”
Regional industrial structure and agglomeration economies: An analysis of productivity in three manufacturing industries (2012, unknown): “There are a growing number of studies of the influence of industrial diversity and average establishment size on productivity, employment growth, innovation, and business start-ups (e.g., Quigley 1998; Hanson 2001; Dissart 2003; Henderson 2003; Glaeser and Kerr 2008; Glaeser et al. 2009).”
