On Wars, Sanctions and Sovereign Default

Javier Bianchi and Cesar Sosa-Padilla

No 792, Working Papers from Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis

Abstract: This paper explores the role of restrictions on the use of international reserves as economic sanctions. We develop a simple model of the strategic game between a sanctioning (creditor) country and a sanctioned (debtor) country. We show how the sanctioning country should impose restrictions optimally, internalizing the geopolitical benefits and the financial costs of a potential default from the sanctioned country.
