The authors evaluate the capabilities of regions to diversify into new activities during crises and how this may help to mitigate their impact. They find that crises tend to restrict the development of new activities, especially those that require capabilities that are not present yet in the region. They also find that diversifying into new activities that are outside a region\u2019s \u201ccomfort zone\u201d during crises is actually generally associated with more employment growth, and that regions with a more diverse range of activities are better able to develop new ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.lse.ac.uk\/usappblog\/2023\/09\/08\/diversification-can-mean-cities-and-regions-are-more-resilient-to-in-times-of-crisis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read the blog post &gt;&gt;&gt;&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A blog post on diversification of regions in times of crises has just been published by the London School of Economics (LSE United States Centre).
