Conducting a study on the impact of sanctions on national development and economic growth

Economic sanctions are coercive measures imposed by a state, an international organization, or a coalition of states (the initiator of sanctions) against another state, its government, or any group within that state (the sanctioned party), in order to bring about changes in its policies or behavior.

Sanctions do not always achieve the political goals originally intended by the initiating country. However, sanctions cause many of the changes that occur in trade, the financial system, and the social sphere in the sanctioned economy, in the economy of the initiating country and in the economies of other countries.

This project studies the economic mechanisms that shape the long-term effects of sanctions on economic growth. Understanding such mechanisms will improve the quality of economic policy decisions in Russia in terms of developing measures to mitigate external shocks and stimulate economic growth in the new environment.
