The Domestic Costs of Sanctions on Foreign Commerce

Abstract

The federal government uses sanctions on foreign commerce to influence the activities of other nations. Those sanctions can have costs for the United States as well as for the countries that they target. This Congressional Budget Office (CBO) study, prepared at the request of the Chairman and the former Ranking Democrat of the House Cormmittee on International Relations, examines the size and nature of the domestic costs of sanctions. In accordance with CBO's mandate to provide objective and impartial analysis, the study contains no recommendations.
