This chapter introduces the concept of resilience in the economic
environment, starting from the idea given by Béné (2013).
It goes through the relative big literature ending up with the
most recent concept of resilience given by the Resilience
Measurement Technical Working Group. Given the latent nature of resilience,
the concept of direct (or descriptive) and indirect (or inferential) measure,
developed recently by the RAP team, is introduced, as well
as the innovation of RIMA-II in building a bridge
between the direct and indirect measure.
