CURRENT PROJECTS

 

Principles of World Trade Law: The World Trade Organization

                                                                                                                           

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, approximately 40 WTO disputes have been discussed by pairs of economists and lawyers, and analyses of 10 more disputes are to be presented in June 2008.

Reports written in the project, as well as more information on the project, are available at the ALI web site. (With Petros C. Mavroidis.)

 

 

WTO Dispute Settlement Data Set

 

For a World Bank project, Henrik Horn has jointly with Petros C. Mavoridis compiled a data set on the Dispute Settlement system of the WTO. The data set comprises 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 contains data through 2006. 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.

 

 

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 National Treatment Disputes and the Environment”.
