Our results show that the adverse effects of different sanction-types on senders’ bilateral manufacturing imports get accentuated (and any positive effects get neutralized) when the underlying data include internal trade flows, providing evidence for diversion towards domestic producers in sanctioning countries. A similar finding is observed on the bilateral export side suggesting that sanctions also divert trade towards domestic consumption. Moreover, we find sanctions to reduce senders’ cross-border imports when domestic suppliers in the sanctioning country are more competitive, thereby supporting the political economy of sanctions-imposition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11468,"journal":{"name":"Economics Letters","volume":"244 ","pages":"Article 111999"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142416587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
