Revisiting the Coercive Effect of Economic Sanctions

• In Event: Economic Sanctions and Economic Costs

Abstract

This paper seeks to retest our assumptions regarding economic sanctions, whether they work as coercive tools and whether they make leaders and administrations more vulnerable to instability. We build off of existing research, adding to a large panel of cross-country time-series data and look more closely at a series of case studies of US economic policies that have been introduced since 2017. Our findings are pending.
