"Comprendre pourquoi certaines entreprises sont plus performantes que d’autres, mettre à jour des régularités et des facteurs explicatifs, constituent à l’évidence une tâche difficile. L’analyse économique permet d’effectuer un pas majeur dans cette direction. Depuis les années 1980, elle s’est beaucoup enrichie. L’économie industrielle a complètement renouvelé ses références. "
I'm particularly stumped by 'régularités', although a previous question produced answers suggesting 'regular patterns'. Any thoughts?

reveal/expose consistent patterns and explanatory factors
Perhaps the difficulty is interpreting 'mettre à jour' correctly as it can also mean 'update' but not here.
