Joint Statement Initiatives: A Legitimate End to ‘Until Everything is Agreed’?
At World Trade Organization (WTO), nothing is agreed until everything is agreed and until everyone agrees at the negotiating tables, and that ‘magic’ moment has been difficult to arrive at. Some WTO Members have argued that if all Members cannot move ahead together with the acceptance of new rules, the Members who are able and willing to move ahead should be provided with the required space to do so. Some Members have indeed chosen to push ahead as they have recently sought progress in negotiations through the Joint Statement Initiatives (JSIs).

Management potential of an international trade network based on cointegration analysis
This article investigates whether cointegration approach can be the basis of an international trade network and whether such a network is relevant for analysis. We fit data on international-trade flows with a cointegration specification using cointegration approach. In addition, we use the force algorithm of Kamada and Kawai for replicating the weighted international trade network. We find that the cointegration approach in combination with the Kamada and Kawai algorithm successfully replicates the weighted international trade network structure.
