Chapter two turns to a similar set of questions with regard to chronic economic distress: why do some regions face chronic economic distress while others do not, and why are some chronically-distressed regions resilient in that they are able to emerge from chronic distress? We define chronic economic distress and resilience in terms of regeneration and recovery. For the period 1978 to 2007, we provide quantitative descriptions and analyses of chronic regional economic distress and its determinants, causes, and consequences.Less
