Reviews
Coping with Adversity is the first truly rigorous effort I have seen to actually define regional economic resilience. As a result of its novelty and importance in the current moment, it will attract a great deal of interest. --Manuel Pastor, coeditor of Unsettled Americans The authors of Coping with Adversity are among the top researchers in the field of economic development, and the question they address is an important one: Why are some regions resistant to national and industrial shocks while others are not? --George A. Erickcek, coeditor of Economic Development Quarterly
