Abstract

Optimal trade sanctions will typically be non-prohibitive. The maximum penalty of a total trade embargo may not be desired or warranted and non-prohibitive sanctions may strike the best balance between punishing the target and avoiding damage to the sanctioner. Non-prohibitive sanctions can also: reduce smuggling, lessen the benefits to bystander countries, and mitigate the harm to innocent communities within the target country. When there are domestic distortions within the target country, non-prohibitive sanctions may be more painful than prohibitive sanctions. The possibility of easing non-prohibitive sanctions in response to reform also provides an appropriate incentive. [F13, K3]
