Capacity building and program success using an instrument based on donorThis paper investigates the role that International Monetary Fund (IMF) programs and capacity building play in fostering structural reforms. To do so, we exploit two novel datasets on IMF capacity building and structural reforms available for over one hundred IMF member countries over the period 1980 - 2010. The main results are threefold. First, there is a general association between IMF programs and structural reforms but this relationship is not very robust. Second, IMF training leads to an increase in structural reforms but only through IMF programs and only when a significant share of public servants is trained. Third, IMF technical assistance does not significantly lead to more structural reforms but raises the likelihood of completion of ongoing IMF programs. Our results are robust to a large number of checks, estimators and correcting for endogeneity.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2012/232Technical assistanceEconomic assistanceBalance of paymentsimfCapital accountimfCurrent Account AdjustmentimfCurrent accountimfEconometric analysisimfEconometric modelsimfEconometrics & economic statisticsimfEconometricsimfEfficiencyimfEstimation techniquesimfEstimationimfExports and ImportsimfInstitutions and the MacroeconomyimfInternational economicsimfInternational Lending and Debt ProblemsimfMacroeconomic Policy, Macroeconomic Aspects of Public Finance, and General Outlook: GeneralimfMacroeconomicsimfMacrostructural analysisimfOptimal TaxationimfShort-term Capital MovementsimfStructural reformsimfCongo, Democratic Republic of theimfTechnical assistance.Economic assistance.Balance of paymentsCapital accountCurrent Account AdjustmentCurrent accountEconometric analysisEconometric modelsEconometrics & economic statisticsEconometricsEfficiencyEstimation techniquesEstimationExports and ImportsInstitutions and the MacroeconomyInternational economicsInternational Lending and Debt ProblemsMacroeconomic Policy, Macroeconomic Aspects of Public Finance, and General Outlook: GeneralMacroeconomicsMacrostructural analysisOptimal TaxationShort-term Capital MovementsStructural reforms332.1532Arezki Rabah1805364Quintyn Marc247373Toscani Frederik1815829DcWaIMFBOOK9910960606603321Structural Reforms, IMF Programs and Capacity Building4371362UNINA04270nam 22007455 450 991098828860332120250321115233.09783031859366303185936710.1007/978-3-031-85936-6(CKB)38111220700041(DE-He213)978-3-031-85936-6(MiAaPQ)EBC31973449(Au-PeEL)EBL31973449(OCoLC)1511806882(EXLCZ)993811122070004120250321d2025 u| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBlockchain and Modern Governance Frameworks for the Future of Societal Systems and Public Organizations /by Manuel Quelhas Poças1st ed. 2025.Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :Imprint: Springer,2025.1 online resource (XVII, 196 p.)
