The Economic Impact of Trade Sanctions on Russia
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)
- Isabelle MEJEAN, Professor and Principal Investigator of the ERC project TRADENET which focuses on the transmission of shocks across countries (read interview)
- Xavier RAGOT, CNRS Professor and President of OFCE - he has recently worked on short-term effects of the Ukraine War on the French economy (read OFCE le blog)
- Moritz SCHULARICK, Professor and a Principal Investigator in the DFG-Excellence Cluster ECONtribute which did research on the potential economic impact of a cut-off from Russian energy imports on German GDP (read policy brief)
