"Waiting Is the Hardest Part: IMF Lending Responsiveness, 1984-2009,"
with Daniel McDowell, Assistant Professor of Political Science. For
more than 30 years the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has played a
central role in managing international financial crises by providing
emergency loans to economies facing difficult circumstances. In this
presentation, Prof. McDowell introduces new data measuring the
responsiveness of the IMF to borrower-country loan requests. Why does
the Fund approve some loans more swiftly than others? McDowell's
empirical analyses show that a borrowercountry’s geopolitical and
financial importance to the U.S. (as well as other key Fund
shareholders) influences the speed with which requests are approved. Sponsored by PARCC - Program for the Advancement of Research on Conflict and Collaboration. Follow us @PARCCatMaxwell, tweet #ConvoInConflict
