Economic Sanctions in the Short, the Medium, and the Long-Run: CGE Estimates with New Data (EcoSan)
Current research studies (work in progress)
Supported by: Anniversary Fund of the Oesterreichische Nationalbank
Study by: Austrian Institute of Economic Research
Economic sanctions are increasingly used in current international policy conflicts; they are employed as substitutes to more
conventional military tools ("War by Other Means"). Evidence on their political effectiveness, on the distribution of macro-
and microeconomic costs, and on their optimal design is, however, scarce. Current developments in international politics underline
the importance of better data and better analysis to guide policymakers in different fields of Austrian and European politics.
