4th AISRe Summer School

Resilience of territories and firms: theories, measures and applications

27-30 June 2023, Palermo

https://www.aisre.it/en/news/4th-aisre-summer-school/

Venue

University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy

Objectives and themes

Over the last decades the world has experienced several shocks of different nature, e.g., economic, pandemic, and natural, at both global and local level. These events have stressed the resilient capacities of territories and firms inducing governments to plan extraordinary actions to sustain the economy. The Summer School will focus, from both theoretical and empirical standpoint, on the concept of resilience at different scale of analysis, i.e., regional and firm-level, and exploring shocks of different nature. The goal is to provide young researchers with an overview of theories, measures and applications through a wide range of topics. These include:

  • Regional-level resilience to socio-economic shocks
  • Firm-level resilience to socio-economic shocks
  • Regional-level resilience to environmental shocks
  • Regional-level resilience to energy shock

Structure of the Program

Each topic will be developed via lectures and data analysis laboratory (using the software STATA) with the following daily timetable:

  • 9.30-11.30 Lectures
  • 12.00-14-00 Data analysis laboratory
  • 15.30-17.30 Students’ presentations

Confirmed senior scholars with high reputation on the topics of the Summer School will deliver lectures, while experts will conduct data analysis sessions. All presentations will be in English.
