Dzhamilya Nigmatulina, Assistant Professor of Economics at HEC Lausanne (UNIL), recently shared her insights on the economic impact of the 2022 trade sanctions on Russia in an interview with Tim Phillips on the VoxTalks Economics podcast. The conversation examined how these political measures were implemented and investigated the extent to which they achieved their intended economic objectives.

Despite anecdotal reports that some Russian firms successfully bypassed restrictions, Nigmatulina and her research team conducted a rigorous analysis using diverse data sources, including domestic railway shipments, firm balance sheets, and government procurement records. Their findings provide a comprehensive assessment of the economic effects of these trade sanctions, offering valuable insights for policymakers and economists alike.
