Abstract

Zusammenfassung Regionalspezifische Wirtschaftsstrukturen haben einen Einfluss auf die Resilienz von Regionen in konjunkturellen Krisenzeiten. Noch unklar ist in diesem Zusammenhang die relative Bedeutung kleinerer Unternehmen. Haben sie hinsichtlich der Arbeitslosigkeitsentwicklung in der Corona-Pandemie als Stabilisator oder als Krisenverstärker gewirkt? Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass ländliche und durch die Handwerkswirtschaft geprägte Regionen konjunkturell weniger von den negativen Arbeitsmarktfolgen der Krise betroffen waren. Als zentraler Befund zeigt sich, dass Kreise mit kleinbetrieblicheren Wirtschaftsstrukturen eine höhere Resilienz als Kreise mit großbetrieblicherer Struktur aufweisen.
