CURRENT PROJECTS
Legal and Economic Principles of World Trade Law
Henrik Horn is, together with Petros C. Mavroidis,
Chief Reporter of the American Law Institute project Principles of World Trade
Law: The World Trade Organization. In this long-run project economists and
lawyers jointly analyze the WTO Agreement and the case law from its Dispute
Settlement system. To date, more than 60 WTO disputes have been discussed by
pairs of economists and lawyers.
· Reports written so far in the case law project
Reports written in the project, as well as more
information on the project, are available at the ALI web site.
WTO Dispute Settlement Data Set
Henrik Horn and Petros C. Mavroidis has compiled a
data set on the Dispute Settlement system of the WTO comprising approximately
28 000 observations on various legal and administrative aspects of all WTO
disputes initiated since the inception of the 1995, from the initial Request
for Consultations to latest events officially recorded, including officially
specified HS numbers. The data set currently contains data through 2006, but
the data is currently being updated, and a new version of the data set should
be available early in 2011. To access the data set, and the associated User’s
Guide, go here.
The paper “The WTO Dispute Settlement System 1995-2006: Some Descriptive
Statistics”, available at IFN WP No
740, provide some basic findings from the data set.
Environment and Trade in a World of Interdependence --
ENTWINED
Henrik Horn is a member of the long-term project Environment and Trade in a World of
Interdependence – ENTWINED –
supported by The Foundation of Strategic Environmental Research (Mistra), Sweden. In this project, Horn works jointly with
Petros C. Mavroidis on a series of studies on the scope for national and
multilateral environmental policies under the World Trade Organization
Agreement. The first study in this series, “The Permissible Reach of National
Environmental Policies”, coauthored with Petros C. Mavroidis examines the
restrictions that the WTO Agreement, as well as the jurisdictional default
rules in public international law, impose on WTO
members’ ability to pursue in particular unilateral environmental policies. It
is available at IFN WP No 739, and
published in Journal of World Trade
42:6, Dec. 2008. The second and third papers address different aspects of
evidentiary standards for environmental disputes in the WTO. The study “The Burden of Proof in Environmental
Disputes in the WTO: Legal aspects”, written jointly with Petros C. Mavroidis,
critically discusses the relevant case law, while economic issues are examined
in “The Burden of Proof in Trade Disputes and the Environment”, which is
forthcoming in Journal of Environmental
Economics and Management, 2011 (earlier
version). A fourth paper, “Climate Change and the WTO: Legal Issues
Concerning Border Tax Adjustments”, also jointly written with Petros C.
Mavroidis, is forthcoming in the Japanese
Yearbook of International Law 53, 2010.
