    Abstract: This study leverages daily web-scraped data to evaluate the impact of economic sanctions following Russia's invasion of Ukraine on consumer prices and product availability across different goods categories. We find that international sanctions significantly disrupted Russian price dynamics, with the exchange rate serving as the primary transmission mechanism. Utilizing granular online data allows us to circumvent potential misreporting and track real-time economic indicators at high frequency. Our analysis uncovers heterogeneous effects across product groups, with sanctions associated with an average increase of 11.7 percentage points in the Russian CPI. The results highlight how trade policies and geopolitical events can rapidly propagate through retail markets, underscoring the importance of timely price monitoring during periods of economic turbulence. More broadly, we demonstrate the value of online data for evaluating policy shocks, paving the way for similar applications in other contexts.

    Abstract: This note presents new evidence on the scale of foreign investment in the Dubai residential property market. Using new data comprising the ownership of a large share of the Dubai property market, we present updated estimates of foreign-owned real estate for the years 2020 and 2022. We find that foreign nationals hold around 43% of the total value of all residential property in the city. Foreign-owned residential real estate grew by 20%—around $ 23 billion—between the beginning of 2020 and early 2022. We also find evidence of a substantial boom in Russian interest in the city following the invasion of Ukraine, with both utility accounts and residential leases associated with Russian nationals increasing sharply. Relying on simple assumptions to allocate new property purchases across nationalities, we conservatively estimate that Russians bought up to $2.4 billion worth of existing properties and a further $3.9 billion of in-development properties since the invasion. Our findings have three main policy implications: 1. Anti-money laundering organisations such as the Financial Action Task Force should intensify pressure on the United Arab Emirates to clean up its real estate sector 2. Automatic exchange-of-information regimes such as the OECD's Common Reporting Standard (CRS) should be expanded to include real estate 3. Policymakers should begin the process of introducing the building blocks of a global asset registry, to build a unified picture of non-financial and financial assets, first at the regional level, then at the global level Our updated 2020 estimates are also now available on the Atlas of the Offshore World.

    Abstract: Dans son acception classique, la rente est un revenu procuré par la détention exclusive d'un actif, qui excède le niveau moyen des profits. Ce chapitre explore les modalités par lesquelles la rente pétrogazière a affecté l'économie russe depuis le début des années 2000. Au delà de l'approche mécaniste proposée par le modèle néo-classique de la Dutch Disease, nous utilisons les outils d'analyse d'une économie institutionnelle (notamment l'approche en terme de régulation) pour montrer les effets institutionnels et politiques de la rente en Russie. Nous en déduisons une analyse des fluctuations de l'économie russe depuis vingt ans qui montre les fondements de l'érosion du mode de régulation gazpromien de l'économie russe, et le rôle du leadership politique actuel dans cette érosion, percutée par la guerre d'invasion de l'Ukraine.
