NSF funding awarded
I am excited to begin work (with co-PI, Dursun Peksen) on an NSF-supported grant project, “Government-imposed Restrictions on International Economic Relations.” The goal of this project is to collect restriction-level, time-varying data on every prohibited cross-border interaction as imposed by the US, EU, and UN against states, individuals, and other target entities. We will use these data to understand when different kinds and combinations of economic restrictions are imposed, when these restrictions benefit US interests, and when they are most likely to be counterproductive. The project will help policymakers and scholars better understand the “effectiveness” of economic restrictions aimed at coercion and containment of adversaries such as Iran, Russia, and Venezuela, among other US foreign policy goals. The project will also provide insights into how targets try to redirect lost commerce to new third parties, and how economic and political relationships subsequently evolve.
