English term or phrase: national boxes
Virtually all the statistical data on production, trade, investment and the like are aggregated into national ‘boxes’. Indeed, the word ‘statistics’ originally denoted facts collected about the ‘state’. However, such a level of statistical aggregation is less and less useful in light of the changes occurring in the organization of economic activity. Unfortunately, we have to rely heavily on national-level data to explore the changing maps of production, trade and investment. But, because national boundaries no longer ‘contain’ production processes in the way they once did, we need to find ways of getting both below and above the national scale – to break out of the constraints of the ‘national boxes’ – in order to understand what is really going on in the world.

"caixas" nacionais


Explanation:
O autor está usando "boxes" metaforicamente, para dizer que cada país mantém dados referentes principalmente a ele mesmo. Alternativamente, você poderia dizer algo como "compartimentos estanques nacionais", mas, a meu ver, "caixas" nacionais também funcionaria.

disagree  Flavio Steffen: Como economista, nunca ouvi essa expressão.

  -> Como disse, trata-se de uma metáfora. Ele não usou "boxes" como termo técnico, seja de economia ou qualquer outra área.
