【报告题目】The Impact of Sanctions on International Trade: Evidence from CoCom’s Export Control

【报告摘要】This paper examines the impact of export controls, a significant tool in international relations used to influence economic security, on global trade. From 1950-1994, 17 Western countries established the Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Controls (CoCom) and enforced export controls against targeted countries. Products related to high technologies, critical industrial equipment, and essential resources were included in the CoCom lists and prohibited from being exported to targeted countries. We digitized the CoCom lists and matched embargoed products to SITC classifications. With the novel dataset, we find that the export embargo significantly reduced the export of goods from CoCom countries to targeted countries. It also led to decreased exports from CoCom countries to other countries and a decline in exports from other countries to targeted countries. Furthermore, we find that the impact of export control policies varied across different periods and various countries. This variation can be attributed to the United States' policy targets.
