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 pub 410 0$aIMF Working Papers 606 $aTechnical assistance 606 $aEconomic assistance 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTechnical assistance. 615 0$aEconomic assistance. 700 $aArezki$b Rabah$0936180 701 $aQuintyn$b Marc$0247373 701 $aToscani$b Frederik$0996916 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461965803321 996 $aStructural reforms, IMF programs and capacity building$92285981 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03390nam 2200805Ia 450 001 9910154968603321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9780889208230 010 $a0889208239 024 7 $a10.51644/9780889208230 035 $a(CKB)2430000000002565 035 $a(EBL)685605 035 $a(OCoLC)753479490 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000382299 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12126975 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000382299 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10392674 035 $a(PQKB)11621740 035 $a(CaPaEBR)402590 035 $a(CaBNvSL)jme00326994 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3246242 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC685605 035 $a(OCoLC)243564939 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse48045 035 $a(PPN)249692627 035 $a(DE-B1597)667709 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780889208230 035 $a(FR-PaCSA)88899378 035 $a(VaAlCD)20.500.12592/rnxjf9 035 $a(schport)gibson_crkn/2009-12-01/2/402590 035 $a(FRCYB88899378)88899378 035 $a(Perlego)1706724 035 $a(EXLCZ)992430000000002565 100 $a19880511d1989 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aNegotiating freer trade $ethe United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and the trade agreements of 1938 /$fIan M.

A few large elements dominated the talks. The Americans wanted to breach the walls of the British imperial preferential tariff system. The British were anxious to retain markets and political support in the British dominions and the Baltic, while protecting their domestic agriculture and improving political relations with the United States. Canada, whose acquiescence and co-operation were necessitated by the pre-existin 606 $aFree trade$zGreat Britain 606 $aFree trade$zCanada 606 $aFree trade$zUnited States 607 $aGreat Britain$vCommercial treaties 607 $aCanada$vCommercial treaties 607 $aUnited States$vCommercial treaties 615 0$aFree trade 615 0$aFree trade 615 0$aFree trade 676 $a382.091724 700 $aDrummond$b Ian M$0119480 701 $aHillmer$b Norman$01086237 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154968603321 996 $aNegotiating Freer Trade$92861156 997 $aUNINA
