Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to conduct a comparative analysis of the functioning of free economic zones (FEZ) in the Russian, American and Chinese economies to identify the experience that Russia can adopt from the US and China to optimize the operation of Russian zones. A complex comparative analysis of the operation of FEZ in the United States, China and Russia has been carried out. Comparative characteristics of FEZ and clusters as special economic systems of interrelations of firms, organizations and industries are given. On the example of China, the mechanism of interaction between FEs and clusters is presented to form the region's competitiveness. The possibilities of applicability of American and Chinese FEZ experiments to Russian conditions are analyzed. The recommendations on improving the functioning of FEZ in Russia have been formulated. The theoretical significance of the research results lies in presenting the current state of free economic zones in the US, China and Russia and the prospects for the development of FEZ in Russia, taking into account foreign experience.
