Inside the Beltway the reigning study of the effectiveness of economic sanctions is by Gary Hufbauer and Jeffrey Schott, who define economic sanctions as "the deliberate government- inspired withdrawal, or threat of withdrawal, of 'customary' trade or financial relations."[2] Such sanctions are used as a "tool to coerce target governments into particular avenues of response."[3] The economic leverage discussed here is used to influence national policies or behavior that is not normally considered economic.[4] Economic leverage may be attempted by imposing export controls, import restrictions, curbs on investment, reductions in foreign aid, or freezes of financial assets. Policymakers impose such sanctions to achieve a change in some noneconomic policy, to inflict punishment in the form of economic hardship, as a "demonstration of resolve"[5] to express disapproval of some action, or to achieve some combination of these objectives.
