Impacts of EU Sanctions Levied in 2014 on Individual European Countries' Exports to Russia

Winners and Losers

verfasst von: Morad Bali, Thanh T. Nguyen, Lincoln F. Pratson
Abstract: We analyse the effects of sanctions implemented by the European Union against Russia following the latter’s annexation of Crimea in 2014. Indirect effects of sanctions on its non-prohibited exports to Russia are examined using a gravity model of trade that includes a time varying sanction index. A per country analysis is also incorporated to increase the granularity of the results. We find that sanctions led to a decrease in exports of non-prohibited products from certain European countries (i.e., the “losers”) while increasing such exports from others (i.e., the “winners”), an outcome that qualifies as an “unintended consequence” of the sanctions.
