The concept of regional resilience has gained attention due to frequent recessionary shocks and divergent regional growth patterns in Turkey. The study empirically explores regional resilience in Turkey by categorizing regional responses to recessionary shocks. The authors employ discriminant function analysis on attributes of 26 NUTS‑II regions to differentiate resilience categories. The analysis identifies key attributes that most strongly differentiate resilient from less resilient Turkish regions.
Eraydin A. Attributes and characteristics of regional resilience: defining and measuring the resilience of Turkish regions, Regional Studies. The increasing frequency of recessionary shocks and the difference in regional growth trajectories in periods of both recession and recovery have resulted in an increased interest in the notion of resilience in the recent literature. This paper, through a discussion of the impacts of recession on Turkish regions, presents an empirical exploration of the concept of regional resilience, categorizing the responses of different regions during economic cycles. A discriminant function analysis is used to explore and explain the differences between resilience categories based on the attributes of the 26 NUTS-II regions, indicating which attributes contribute most to group separation.
