Digital divide across the European Union and labour market resilience
基于278个欧盟区域的面板数据，从区域演化视角研究数字发展差异如何影响劳动力市场在金融危机中的韧性，用梯度提升法识别不同韧性阶段的关键数字因素。
Using a regional evolutionary perspective and a cross-regional data panel for 278 European Union regions, this study investigates the relationship between regional digital development and labour market resilience. To address a fundamental concern of regional studies, it proposes an analytical framework that assesses digital disparities in the spatial context and provides a nuanced understanding of digital dimensions impacting labour market resilience. The primary labour market outcome, the employment rate, was evaluated to investigate the regional resilience in the Great Recession. A gradient boosting method was used to identify the digital predictors in different resilience stages and to articulate policy-relevant conclusions.
