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 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.
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
Henrik Horn and Petros C. Mavroidis 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.
