Every time a new policy is implemented, there comes a time when it must be evaluated so its effectiveness can be considered. Without evaluation, there is no way to tell if there is a need to revise anything for optimum efficiency. This is especially true for economic policy and in this case refers to special economic zones (SEZ). This paper aims to provide insight about the effectiveness of Latvian SEZ as tools to attract foreign direct investment (FDI). The goal is accomplished through statistical analysis of relevant data and comparing with international examples to establish a point of reference.
