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
