Abstract

The multidimensional impact of Special Economic Zones in Campania Region

Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in Campania, introduced in 2018, are a beneficial opportunity for territorial economic development. Externalities are still being defined, as SEZs are still being launched and defined. The first surveys on SEZs start from the research promoted by ‘Regione Campania’ in 2019 on the role of SEZs, assessing their territorial, economic, judicial and transportation externalities. This study takes up in part the results that emerged from that research to offer an analysis on the impacts that policies and interventions can have on Campania as a consequence of the intervention of additional measures offered by 2019 supported by PNRR funds. For this purpose, the paper aims to analyze the Territorial Impact Assessment (TIA) tool, proposed by ESPON, qualitatively on the areas that may be most affected by policy impacts.
