-Fund strong complementarities, we show that strategic communication is indeed the primary source of loss for the two institutions … beneficial effect is reduced by factors preventing full communication, such as the degree of Bank-Fund competition and the …

We focus on the role that the transmission of information between a multilateral (e.g., the IMF) and a country has for optimal (conditional) reform design. The main result is that the informational advantage of the country must be strictly greater than the advantage of the multilateral in order...

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...
