Abstract

In the global context generated by the 2008-2009 economic crisis and by the current COVID-19 pandemic, the analysis of the way in which territories can resist, return and adapt to shocks has become a priority for resilience-based policies. The paper aims to investigate the role of institutions in economic resilience, in the particular case of Central and Eastern European countries since, despite the ongoing convergence process, the institutional gaps and weaknesses of these states challenge their possibilities to recover after this health crisis, as well as to improve their resilience capacity. The methodological approach involves, firstly, a cross-country time-series panel regression, using the annual data from 1996 until 2019. Secondly, we applied the principal component regression, in order to capture the country specificities. The research focuses on the linkages between institutional dynamics and economic resilience, an issue less reflected in literature. Our results confirm the influence of institutional factors on economic resilience and, more importantly, it is highlighted that the ‘one size fits all’ principle does not apply in the case of recovery and resilience programs, which is due to the fact that institutions act differently, depending on various socio-economic and political contexts.

中欧和东欧国家的制度动态和经济弹性。政策的相关性

在2008-2009年经济危机和当前2019冠状病毒病大流行造成的全球背景下，分析各地区抵御、恢复和适应冲击的方式已成为基于复原力的政策的优先事项。本文旨在调查制度在经济复原力中的作用，特别是在中欧和东欧国家，因为尽管正在进行趋同进程，但这些国家的制度差距和弱点挑战了它们在这场卫生危机后恢复的可能性，以及提高其复原能力的可能性。方法方法包括，首先，使用1996年至2019年的年度数据进行跨国时间序列面板回归。其次，我们应用主成分回归，以捕捉国家的特殊性。研究的重点是制度动态和经济弹性之间的联系，这是一个在文献中较少反映的问题。我们的研究结果证实了制度因素对经济弹性的影响，更重要的是，强调了“一刀切”原则不适用于恢复和弹性计划，这是由于制度的行为不同，取决于不同的社会经济和政治背景。

期刊介绍： TRAS represents a collective effort initiated by an international group aimed at boosting the research in the field of public administration in a country where during the communist regime there was no tradition in this sense. TRAS represents a unique source of specialized analysis of the ex-communist space, of the transition processes to democracy, of the reform of public administration, and of comparative analysis of administrative systems. The general topic covered by the articles in the Review is administrative sciences. As a result of an interdisciplinary, modern approach, the articles cover the following specific themes: Public management, public policy, administrative law, public policy analysis, regional development, community development, public finances, urban planning, program evaluation in public administration, ethics, comparative administrative systems, etc. TRAS encourages the authors to submit articles that are based on empirical research. From the standpoint of the topic covered, TRAS is lined up with the trends followed by other international journals in the field of public administration. All articles submitted to the Transylvanian Review of Administrative Sciences have to present a clear connection to the field of administrative sciences and the research (both theoretical and empirical) should be conducted from this perspective. Interdisciplinary topics related to organizational theory, sustainable development and CSR, international relations, etc. can be considered for publication, however the research needs to address relevant issues from the perspective of the public sector. Articles which use highly specialized econometrics models as well as studies addressing macro-economic topics will not be considered for evaluation. The decision on whether a certain topic falls within the interest of TRAS belongs to the editors and it is not connected with the overall quality of the work submitted.
