Abstract

Abstract In this article, we examine a relationship between population/economic size and resilience of Czech regions. More specifically, we ask if there are any significant differences among metropolitan cores and hinterlands, urban regions and rural regions in (post)crisis economic development in the period 2009–2013. Three aspects of resilience were considered: volatility of unemployment, renewal (increase in economic performance compared to other regions) and reorientation (measured by the intensity of structural changes in total employment). We found relatively small differences among particular types of regions and high intra-group heterogeneity. Specialized industrial urban regions exhibited the fastest economic growth in the (post)crisis period. Metropolitan cores lagged slightly behind, but experienced relatively stable economic development. Although rural regions exhibited the highest unemployment volatility, they did not lag behind in terms of value added growth. Regional resilience in a small open economy like Czechia seems to be predominantly driven by extraregional factors such as the position in global production networks and economic performance in particular industries or large transnational corporations.
大都市、城市和农村地区的复原力:中欧视角
摘要在这篇文章中,我们研究了捷克地区的人口/经济规模与恢复力之间的关系。更具体地说,我们询问2009-2013年期间,大都市核心区和腹地、城市地区和农村地区在(后)危机经济发展方面是否存在任何显著差异。考虑了复原力的三个方面:失业率的波动性、复兴(与其他地区相比,经济表现有所提高)和调整方向(以总就业结构变化的强度衡量)。我们发现,特定类型区域之间的差异相对较小,且组内异质性较高。专业工业城市地区在(后)危机时期表现出最快的经济增长。大都市核心区略有落后,但经济发展相对稳定。尽管农村地区的失业率波动最大,但在增加值增长方面并没有落后。捷克这样的小型开放经济体的区域韧性似乎主要由区域外因素驱动,如在全球生产网络中的地位以及特定行业或大型跨国公司的经济表现。
