Price Differences

Abstract The United States and Canada have a long-standing series of disputes over softwood lumber that until now have focused on alleged subsidies and countervailing duties (CVDs). The United States changed things up this time around and the US Department of Commerce (USDOC) found dumping after applying the Differential Pricing Methodology to softwood lumber from Canada. The panel found that the USDOC erroneously aggregated export price differences when applying the differential pricing methodology (DPM), but departed from the WTO Appellate Body's previous ruling in US–Washing Machines regarding the use of zeroing and the inclusion of differential prices under Article 2.4.2 of the Anti-Dumping Agreement. To date, the United States and Canada have not been able to resolve the long-standing softwood lumber dispute, and this time the focus shifts from subsidies and countervailing duties to anti-dumping duties. It remains to be seen what happens in this specific dispute on appeal – if, and when, the WTO Appellate Body starts to function again. It will also be interesting to see whether this panel decision encourages parties to argue for, and future panels to permit departures from, Appellate Body rulings with which they disagree.

Negative Phenomena

In some cities, the zoning operation in taxi service leads to the difference in load ratio and empty return rate in their limited zones. Therefore, some negative phenomena appear such as the instability of drivers’ income and drivers negotiate the price without taximeter. In order to keep a balance between enhancing the drivers’ profit and protecting the passengers’ interests, establishing a differential pricing model based on the characteristics of taxi service in different zones. The operation areas, trip intensity and trip distribution have been taken into consideration about different taxi service zones in the model.
