Abstract
This paper analyses the differential impact of several territorial determinants of the economic performance of Italian provinces (NUTS 3 level). as measured by per capita GDP, export and employment growth from 1999 to 2014. It covers both the pre‐crisis and the crisis period and stresses the role of geographical proximity in shaping local performance over a wide set of explanatory variables. In order to do so, we employ, firstly, a spatial Durbin model which enables us to discriminate between direct and indirect effects and to highlight the possible contagion or crowding‐out spatial effects for each territorial dimension affecting growth. Then, we extend the analysis by allowing for the possibility of two regimes (pre‐crisis and post‐crisis). The performance of the provinces before and during the crisis relates to specific territorial components and geographic proximity appears to influence differently the results and their interpretation. Este articulo analiza el impacto diferencial de varios determinantes territoriales del desempeno economico de las provincias italianas (nivel NUTS 3), medidos por el PIB per capita y el crecimiento de las exportaciones y del empleo entre 1999 y 2014. El estudio abarca tanto el periodo anterior a la crisis como el periodo de crisis y hace hincapie en el papel de la proximidad geografica en la configuracion del desempeno local mediante un amplio conjunto de variables explicativas. Para ello se emplea en primer lugar un modelo espacial de Durbin, que permite discriminar entre efectos directos e indirectos y poner de relieve los posibles efectos de contagio o de desplazamiento espacial para cada dimension territorial que afecta al crecimiento. A continuacion se amplia el analisis, permitiendo la posibilidad de dos regimenes (pre‐crisis y post‐crisis). El desempeno de las provincias antes y durante la crisis se relaciona con componentes territoriales especificos y la proximidad geografica parece influir de manera diferente en los resultados y en su interpretacion. 本稿では、1999年~2014年の一人当たりGDP、輸出、雇用の増加で測定したイタリアの (NUT3レベルの)県 (province)の経済動向の、地域的な決定因子の変動的なインパクトを分析する。経済危機前と経済危機の期間の両方を分析し、地域の動向を広範な説明変数のセットで形成する際の地理的近接性の役割を強調する。そのため、はじめに直接的な効果と間接的な効果を区別し、コンテイジョンの可能性、または成長に影響するそれぞれの地域ディメンションに対する空間的なクラウディングアウト効果を強調させることができる、空間ダービンモデルを使用する。次に、2つのレジーム(危機前と危機後)の可能性を考慮に入れて分析を拡大する。危機の前と危機の間の県の経済動向は地域の特定の構成要素に関連し、地理的近接性は結果とその解釈に様々な影響を与えると考えられる。

Testing and explaining economic resilience with an application to Italian regions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied regional economic resilience by exploiting the properties of the nonlinear smooth-transition autoregressive model and provided a test procedure to distinguish between engineering and ecological resilience.

The role of tourism in island economic growth and resilience: A panel analysis for the European Mediterranean countries (2000–2015)

TL;DR: In this article, the economic resilience of islands and the role of the tourism sector in the reaction to the most recent economic crisis is verified. But, to the best of our knowledge, none of the current works has considered territorial determinants and tourism indicators inside the same framework analyzing growth in island economies by considering the changes occurred during the crisis explicitly.

Why are some Spanish regions more resilient than others

TL;DR: In this article, a composite resilience index for the Spanish regions and using multiple factor analysis to compare it with the Martin resilience index (Martin, 2012) is presented. But the results of a Principal Component Analysis to measure the relative contributions of potential regional resilience drivers indicate that, during recovery periods, it is market-service focused regional economies that show stronger resilience, while, in crisis periods, regions with a more highly-educated workforce.

Quantifying fiscal multipliers in Italy: A Panel SVAR analysis using regional data

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply panel SVAR modelling to 1995-2017 regional data, and find that expansionary fiscal policies produce positive and persistent effects on GDP, even 10 years after a discretionary fiscal policy is implemented.

Merging macroeconomic and territorial determinants of regional growth: the MASST4 model

TL;DR: The MASST4 as discussed by the authors model merges macroeconomic and territorial aspects as drivers of regional growth by incorporating mechanisms of territorial complexity governing regional development theories, such as agglomeration economies, or structural changes in innovation modes, into a formal model.

Growth in Cities

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a new data set on the growth of large industries in 170 U.S. cities between 1956 and 1987 and found that local competition and urban variety, but not regional specialization, encourage employment growth in industries.

Industrial Development in Cities

TL;DR: This paper analyzed changes in employment in specific manufacturing industries in cities between 1970 and 1987 and found that the major source of that persistence appears to be persistence in local demand conditions (i.e., persistence in regional comparative advantage), as opposed to other measured or unmeasured urban characteristics.
