Impact Of Anti‐Apartheid Sanctions On South Africa: Some Trade And Financial Evidence

Author

  • WILLIAM H. KAEMPFER
  • MICHAEL H. MOFFETT

Abstract

Economic sanctions against South Africa presumably are intended to cause economic damage. Trade sanctions should induce the South African terms of trade to deteriorate, and investment sanctions should cause capital flight and cause the exchange rate to deteriorate. However, due to the nature of the South African economy and to certain policies of the South African government, these impacts may be difficult to achieve.
