Agency and Communication in IMF Conditional Lending : Theory and Empirical Evidence

Marchesi, Silvia - 2014

We focus on the role that the transmission of information between a multilateral (the IMF) and a country has for the optimal design of conditional reforms. Our model predicts that when agency problems are especially severe, and/or IMF information is valuable, a centralized control is indeed...
