韧性概念演变与区域经济韧性研究进展

区域经济韧性试图解释当冲击发生时为何部分区域能够适应恢复，实现区域经济的持续发展，而有的区域不能摆脱冲击影响，步入经济衰退轨迹。本文通过对国内外相关文献的梳理，总结了工程韧性、生态韧性和演化韧性的概念演变以及从均衡论观点到演化观点的转向，据此重新定义了区域经济韧性的概念内涵，认为区域经济韧性是系统面对冲击时，抵抗冲击影响避免脱离发展轨迹或通过适应恢复实现经济持续发展的能力，是一个不断演化的过程。探讨了区域经济韧性研究的三个理论分析方法，对关于区域经济韧性的测度和影响因素的实证研究进行了评述，强调亟需加强韧性理论研究，界定清晰概念内涵，同时加强区域经济韧性定量本土化研究，将区域经济韧性理论应用到我国老工业基地等经济衰退地区的经济振兴与转型问题中，以期对区域经济发展提供科学参考。

REVIEW ON THE EVOLUTION OF RESILIENCE CONCEPT AND RESEARCH PROGRESS ON REGIONAL ECONOMIC RESILIENCE

Regional economic resilience is a hot topic in the field of economic geography and regional economics in recent years. It was used to explain why some regions can actively respond to external shocks and achieve sustainable economic development, others have been experiencing long-lasting economic recession. This paper, based on a review of literature, summarizes the conceptual evolution of resilience: engineering resilience, ecological resilience and evolutionary resilience. This concept has experienced a transition from equilibrium theory to evolution theory. This paper redefines the concept of regional economic resilience. We believe that regional economic resilience is the ability of the system to withstand shocks and avoid breaking away from development trajectory or to achieve sustained economic development through adaptation and recovery after the shock. Regional economic resilience is a continuous evolution process. This article discusses the three theoretical analysis methods of regional economic resilience, reviews the empirical research on the measurement and influencing factors of regional economic resilience and points out the shortcomings of existing research. The article emphasizes the urgent need to strengthen the research of resilience theory to clarify its conceptual connotation. Key words: resilience
