      abstract = {The vulnerability and resilience of small rural counties  to macroeconomic shocks has received scant attention by  researchers.  We select 225 rural counties in the Western  U.S. and use Briguglio's analytical framework to classify  these counties' level of vulnerability and resilience to  the Great Recession.  Based on the multivariate analysis,  helpful risk management strategies centered on health care,  education, the exploitation of natural resources, and not  being in a right-to-work state.  Surprisingly, counties  with high natural amenity scores and a high percentage of  public land were more vulnerable to this economic shock.},
