Resilience – ability <strong>to</strong> recover<br />

• Interregional labour mobility<br />

– When few new jobs are available in the own region, unemployed<br />

can search for a job in neighbouring regions<br />

› Only regions within commuting distance<br />

› Limited willingness/possibilities for moving<br />

– Higher commuting costs, but better option than unemployment or<br />

moving <strong>to</strong> another region<br />

• <strong>Regions</strong> recover more quickly when they have a central<br />

location or provide good connections <strong>to</strong> other regions
