‘Shaken Not Stirred’: WTO as a Ground for Plurilateral Initiatives
Global Trade and Customs Journal. 2022. Vol. 17. No. 3. P. 121–130.
The negotiation work of the WTO is in the grip of the requirement that decision-making take place by consensus among all 164 members. At the same time, the shift in the political economy of trade negotiations towards plurilateralism is becoming increasingly evident. This begs the question of the perspectives of joint statement initiatives (JSI) on services domestic regulation, investment facilitation and e-commerce. This article discusses how to give legal effect to the negotiation outcomes in the WTO, with a particular focus on plurilateral initiatives. The need for additional ‘flexibilities’ that expand the ways to include plurilateral outcomes in WTO law is now more urgent than ever. At the same time, if plurilateralism is to be effective and sustainable, it must be linked to multilateral principles and norms.

We derive bounds on the gradient and Hessian of the log-CDF, ln F(x), of the multivariate normal distribution. These bounds scale linearly and quadratically in ‖x‖ , respectively, with constants depending only on the covariance matrix. We demonstrate the usefulness of these bounds by proving asymptotic normality of the maximum-likelihood estimator of the multivariate probit ...

The paper proposes a formal model for describing opinions and higher-order opinions (e.g., opinions about opinions) using classical epistemic logic, such as the Kripke structure. Traditionally employed for analyzing knowledge and beliefs, this model is adapted to interpret opinions as beliefs, which is particularly promising for describing human-computer interaction due to its high level of formalization. The study is ...
