When the article was first published online, the following sentences were incorrect.
On p. 498, the penultimate sentence in the first paragraph read as follows:
Additionally, the multi-scalar attributes of resilience and its determinants (e.g., global economic integration) need to be investigated, as well as the micro-level effects of resilient and non-resilient regions, past general labour force statistics and income needs to be explored.
Additionally, the multi-scalar attributes of resilience and its determinants (e.g., global economic integration) need to be investigated.
Structural change refers to regions industrial based and the industries that encompass them.
Structural change refers to regions’ industrial base and the type of industries that encompass them.
The advantage of using the system approach, in combination with performance measures, is that it allows researchers to identify how certain types of resilience influenced or influences their long-term growth and resilience to future shocks. For instance, a region that repeatably employs engineering or ecological resilience to shocks may eventually become locked-in to certain economic activity and reduces its long-run capacity to adapt, which may explain the region’s non-resilient behaviour to future shocks and less favourable long-term growth trajectory.
