Public sentiment towards economic sanctions in the Russia–Ukraine war

Abstract: This paper introduces novel data on public sentiment towards economic sanctions based on nearly one million social media posts in 109 countries during the Russia-Ukraine war by using machine learning. We show the geographical heterogeneity between government stances and public sentiment. Finally, political regimes, trading relationships, and political instability could predict how people perceived this inhumane war.

“…The political and economic fallout of the conflict has also received some attention in the literature. For example, using machine learning, Ngo et al (2022) find that public sentiments about the invasion are vastly heterogenous, with the most significant divergence within Asian and African countries. On the economic front, Hoang et al (2022) show that the economic sanctions imposed by the West did not affect Russian energy firms, although they had a negative impact on capital expenditures, cost of capital, and R&D intensity in the nonenergy-related firms in Russia.…”
