过去20年来，经济区发展迅速。 1986年，国际劳工组织（ILO）的数据库报告了47个国家的176个区域；到 2006 年，据报告在 130 个国家设有 3,500 个区域。尽管许多特区未能实现其目标，但仍出现了如此巨大的增长；然而，许多其他经济体正在为外国直接投资（FDI）、出口和就业的增长做出重大贡献，并在融入全球贸易和结构转型（包括工业化和升级）方面发挥催化作用。本研究旨在解决其中一些问题，并提供数据驱动和以政策为重点的分析。该研究的目的是探索区域计划的经验，特别关注撒哈拉以南非洲地区，以了解导致静态和动态结果的因素。它旨在为经济特区是否以及如何为非洲和其他低收入国家创造就业机会、多样化和可持续增长做出重大贡献的问题提供投入。
Economic zones have grown rapidly in the past 20 years. In 1986, the International Labor Organization's (ILO's) database reported 176 zones in 47 countries; by 2006, it reported 3,500 zones in 130 countries. This huge growth occurred despite many zones having failed to meet their objectives; however, many others are contributing significantly to growth in foreign direct investment (FDI), exports, and employment, as well as playing a catalytic role in integration into global trade and structural transformation, including industrialization and upgrading. This study aims to address some of these questions and deliver an analysis that is both data-driven and policy-focused. The objective of the study is to explore the experience of zone programs, with a particular focus on Sub-Saharan Africa, to understand the factors that contribute to static and dynamic outcomes. It aims to provide input to the question of whether and how zones can make a significant contribution to job creation, diversification, and sustainable growth in African and other low-income countries.
