Measures of Economic, Social and Institutional Resilience

Summary/Abstract: The subject of the paper are measures of economic, social and institutional resilience undertaken in many international studies. The aim of the study, however, is to review international research and on this basis to present the measures and indicators of resistance used. To present the results of the analysis, tables were used, taking into account several characteristics of indicators. A review of the literature shows that resilience studies distinguish categories of indicators such as: context/baseline indicators, input indicators, output indicators, outcome indicators and process indicators. Another division of indicators includes direct and indirect measurement of resilience. Resilience measures can also refer to quantitative and qualitative indicators. Referring to the scale of the research, the international, national, regional, local (urban), neighborhood and individual or household level are distinguished. A review of the studies shows that output and outcome indicators at national and local levels are most commonly used in resilience analyses. The vast majority of indicators allow to measure resilience indirectly and the measurement method is usually quantitative and based on secondary data.
