The Economic Impact of Trade Sanctions on Russia
Sign indicating "Sanctions" pointing to Russian flag behind barbed wire
Since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, economic sanctions have been imposed on Russia on a scale rarely seen in modern times. As the nature and extent of Russian violence worsens, there are growing calls for even tougher sanctions and, in particular, for a drastic reduction of EU imports of key commodities from Russia.
The Department's faculty members have been doing real-time analysis using recent research tools to evaluate the likely impact of existing and potential additional sanctions. They will participate in a special panel to present a number of results from their recent work and discuss policy implications:
- Sergei GURIEV, Professor and former ERBD Chief Economist (watch recent CEPR VideoVox Economics)
