Abstract
This article analyzes the impact of sanctions on the exports of countries in the Asia-Pacific region, focusing on five main types: arms, military, trade, financial, and travel sanctions. Using a trade gravity model with control variables such as GDP per capita and geographical distance, the study reveals that different sanctions have varied effects on international trade. The results indicate that trade and financial sanctions have a significant negative impact on exports, reducing the flow of goods and exerting a profound influence on national economies. In contrast, military and arms sanctions show inconsistent effects. Travel sanctions also have a negative impact but to a lesser extent, primarily through indirect economic consequences. The study highlights the importance of the adaptability of countries in mitigating the impact of sanctions, including seeking new trade partners and adjusting export strategies. These findings provide a basis for policymakers to develop appropriate response strategies to protect and promote national economic interests. The study sheds light on how different types of sanctions impact exports in Asia-Pacific, helping policymakers identify economic risks and develop effective responses.
