The impact of international sanctions on energy security

Abstract

This study first investigates different types of sanctions on energy security by employing data from a panel of target countries covering the period 1996–2014 and using the panel fixed effect model. Our evidence indicates that international sanctions do significantly negatively influence the energy security of target countries in some cases. Specifically, unilateral sanctions, U.S. sanctions, economic sanctions, and the intensity of sanctions have a significantly negative impact on energy security. However, plurilateral sanctions, EU sanctions, UN sanctions, and non-economic sanctions have no significant impact on the energy security of target countries. The results of endogeneity concerns are also consistent with the results of the basic regression analysis. Overall, our empirical findings merit particular attention from policy makers of target countries to ensure their energy security when facing international sanctions.

Environmental, social and governance, corporate social responsibility, and stock returns: What are the short‐ and long‐Run relationships?

“…Huge negative shocks have devastated the corporates' innovation activities Zhao et al, 2022), management activities (Wen et al, 2020), and stock market performance (Chang et al, 2021), but corporates with better ESG/CSR performances can better control their risks and reduce the losses of investors (Broadstock et al, 2021).…”

The impacts of climate change on bank performance: What’s the mediating role of natural disasters?

“…Zhao et al ( 2021 ) found that natural catastrophes and man-made disasters have distinct impacts on the insurance industry, because they need to pay out a lot of insurance coverage. In addition, disasters, both natural and man-made, hugely impact the victims themselves and financial institutions (Wen et al 2020 ).…”

Impacts of Epidemics on Energy Security: An Empirical Analysis

“…In other words, energy security is not only an economic issue, but also a political, military, and strategic issue (Le & Nguyen, 2019). More and more studies are focusing on the significant variation in energy security across countries and the determinants of energy security, with some of the determinants found being economic sanctions, extreme events, and economic development (Chen et al, 2019;Wen et al, 2021). However, few, if any, empirical studies explore the impact of epidemics on energy security.…”
