Biden's Emerging Trade Policy - Private presentation (2021)
These are slides for a talk about the Biden Administration's emerging trade policy. The talk I gave is organized around the theme that this policy gives priority to non-trade issues, above all national security. It highlights China as a pervasive issue across numerous aspects of Biden's trade policy.
Double Protection: The Case Against the "Byrd Amendment" of U.S. Trade Law - International Trade Law & Regulation (2001)
Under the Byrd Amendment of 2000, all collected antidumping and countervailing duties must be distributed among U.S. companies that successfully petition for the imposition of those duties. The Byrd Amendment created an economic incentive for the proliferation of trade cases. A strong legal case can be made that the Byrd Amendment is inconsistent with WTO rules.
