Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain special economic zones and their kinds, describe how they are established and regulated, present evidence on their effects with attribution, and identify specific zones with sources.

A designated geographic area within a country in which business and trade laws differ from the rest of the country, typically offering tax incentives, customs exemptions, streamlined regulation and infrastructure to attract investment and exports, in forms such as free trade zones, export processing zones, bonded logistics parks, special development zones and the special economic zones of China, Indonesia, India and many other countries; zones are created by law and evaluated for their economic and social effects.

What it is for: Areas with distinct economic rules.

It can be explain kinds of zone; describe establishment and regulation; present evidence on effects; identify specific zones.
