“It’s very hard to make forecasts,” said Nikos Zirogiannis, assistant professor of Environmental Economics & Policy at the Paul O’Neill School of Public & Environmental Affairs. “It will depend on how long the war lasts, how many other countries will impose further sanctions on Russian exports, how quickly and how likely are other suppliers to increase their production.”
