Abstract
This study explores the synergistic effects of regional economic policies and legal reforms in enhancing post-crisis economic resilience and institutional adaptability. Using a dynamic system modeling approach, it examines how coordinated policy frameworks influence the evolution of economic resilience over time. The findings demonstrate that high-intensity policy coordination and adaptive legal reforms significantly improve regional resilience, offering insights for sustainable economic recovery.
Keywords:
