 abstract={Special Economic Zones (SEZ), areas where companies can operate in preferential conditions, have been created to boost the economic development of particular regions. The article describes an attempt to assess the connections between and the impact of the way special economic zones function and the economic development of municipalities (Pol. gmina) where they are located. In particular, the authors discuss the key characteristics of these zones that are directly related to the prosperity of municipalities where the companies are based as well as elements of current policies and development strategies pursued by the municipalities that affect the economic reality of the zones. The second part of the study involves an econometric analysis of the socio-economic development of municipalities of Podkarpackie province (which is evaluated by means of a comprehensive taxonomic measure) in terms of a classic measure of wealth, i.e. municipal revenues per capita, and depending on whether or not a given municipality hosts companies belonging to a special economic zone. Based on this analysis, the authors draw conclusions about the importance of specific SEZs for the development of local communities.},
