The research methodology comprises the dialectical method and the related general and specific methods (the system and evolutional approaches, comparative-legal analysis, the method of modeling structural-logical and functional algorithms). The authors analyze the institutions of a special economic zone and a free economic zone, and propose the conceptual model of investment activities development in the Republic of Crimea.
