Abstract: This paper examines the influence of key resilience determinants – unrelated variety, related variety, human capital and innovative-prone environments – on the post-crisis growth path performance of regions. To do so, Canadian regional economic resilience to the 2008 Great Recession and their post-crisis growth path are investigated. Innovative-prone environments, related variety and human capital all enhance both the economic resilience and post-crisis growth path performance of regions. Also, not all resilience determinants (unrelated variety) influence both regional processes. The main policy implication is that policymakers should focus on enhancing innovation-prone environments.
