Purpose: The paper describes patterns of study on innovation in the regional economic resilience literature regarding methods and findings.
Design/methodology/approach: This study is a descriptive one, and it uses, as a method, the scoping review based on Scopus and Web of Science databases. Forty-eight theoretical-empirical papers were thematically coded, and analyses were conducted using R packages and MaxQDA.
Findings: Innovation has been used narrowly in the regional resilience literature, considering the variables, the types of shocks, and the analyzed loci. From the sampled papers, this study suggests that, depending on the operationalization, the addressed relationship can be positive or negative, which still needs further investigation. In addition, the study identified two lines of research. The first, characterized by quantitative research, secondary sources, and multivariate analyses, focus on testing predictive regional resilience models based on innovation-related variables. The second, characterized by qualitative or multi-method approaches, is more concerned with explaining the knowledge accumulation and the learning capacity related to regional innovation.
Research limitations/implications: The paper’s findings show a restricted view of the innovation–resilience relationship. Although this study does not present a meta-analysis, it reveals gaps for future research. Some suggestions can be highlighted, such as (i) expanding knowledge about innovation as a predictor of resilience, (ii) the theoretical development of this relationship to guide empirical investigations, and (iii) studies that consider the meso or micro level approaching the role of actors in fostering innovation in the regional resilience process.
Originality/value: This paper fulfills an identified need to investigate how innovation has been operationalized in regional resilience empirical research.
