Given the intricate and dynamic international political economic landscape, effectively preventing resolving risks challenges while bolstering resilience of development has emerged as a focal point for both academic spheres. Utilizing panel data from Chinese provinces spanning 2013 to 2021, this study employs entropy weight method gauge level digital trade in each region, subsequently exploring impact on regional along with its underlying transmission mechanisms. The findings reveal significant positive effect resilience, which is robustly supported by endogeneity test. Mechanism testing demonstrates that primarily stems upgrading effects industrial structure at production end resource allocation effects, whereas consumption-driven consumption are not deemed significant. Moderation further indicates improvements transportation infrastructure can enhance promotion resilience. Regionally, central regions higher marketization levels exhibit strongest promotional Additionally, there exists spatial spillover stemming development's influence

This study investigates the impact of two consecutive economic shocks—the 2009–2018 crisis and 2019–2022 COVID-19 pandemic—on resilience recovery Greece’s 13 NUTS II-level Administrative Regions. Using secondary data on employment per sector from Greek Statistical Authority Eurostat, is assessed through resistance indices, complemented by shift-share analysis to identify sectoral local influences regional performance. Regions with robust agricultural bases displayed consistent recovery, while tourism-dependent regions transitioned high low during pandemic. Urban centres like Attiki showed enhanced due concentrated activity advantages, forming a high-resistance, fast-recovery cluster. Consequently, advantages are more resilient in times crisis. Sectors developing locally these strengthen resilience, whereas dynamic sectors at national level relying external environments vulnerable, recovering slowly impacting host regions. Strong concentration economies alongside further bolster resilience. Strengthening structures diversifying activities crucial for mitigating disparities. underscores importance tailored sustainable policies enhance ensure long-term sustainability.

This study estimates regional economic resilience in China from 2000 to 2022, focusing on resistance resilience, recovery and reorientation resilience. The entropy method, kernel density estimation, spatial Durbin model are applied examine the spatiotemporal evolution influencing factors. results show significant clustering, with stronger east weaker west. While has generally improved, disparities persist. Key factors such as human capital, urban hospitals, financial development, market consumption, environmental quality have a positive effect spillover effects. However, capital hospitals also negative indirect impact surrounding regions. influence of these varies across regions periods, indicating strong heterogeneity.
