Reviews

George A. Erickcek, coeditor of Economic Development Quarterly:

"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?"

Manuel Pastor, coeditor of Unsettled Americans:

"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."
