PROJECTS
Environment and Trade in a World of Interdependence --
ENTWINED
The long-term project Environment and Trade in a World of Interdependence – ENTWINED – supported by The Foundation of
Strategic Environmental Research (Mistra, Sweden) –
brings together researchers and policy analysts from several countries. The
project focuses on the interplay between environmental policies, and the global
trade regime (in particular the WTO).
WTO Dispute Settlement Data Set
Petros C. Mavroidis and I have
compiled an extensive data set on the Dispute Settlement system of the WTO. The
data set comprises approximately 67 000 observations on various legal and
administrative aspects, of all WTO disputes initiated since the inception of
the WTO 1 January 1995, up to the end of July 2011. The data set tracks each
dispute from the initial Request for Consultations, through adjudication, and
implementation.
-
The
data
The data set, and the User’s Guide, can also be found
at the World Bank website.
The paper “The
WTO Dispute Settlement System 1995-2010: Some Descriptive Statistics”
(joint with Louise Johannesson and Petros C. Mavroidis), provides some basic
observations from the data.
Legal and Economic Principles of World Trade Law
Petros C. Mavroidis and I
have been Co-Chief Reporters for the American Law Institute project Legal and Economic Principles of World Trade
Law. In this long-run project, economists and lawyers jointly analyze the
WTO Agreement and the case law from its Dispute Settlement system. To date,
approximately 70 WTO disputes have been analyzed by pairs of economists and
lawyers.
-
Reports in the case
law project
Reports written in the project, as well as more
information on the project, are available at the ALI
website.
