Brief description: This work uncovers the existence, extent, and mechanism of export deflection after the imposition of export sanctions against Iran. It finds that two-thirds of the value of Iranian non-oil exports thought to be destroyed by export sanctions have actually been deflected to destinations not imposing sanctions. Export sanctions may be less effective in a globalized world as exporters can deflect exports from one destination to another.
