The Effect of IMF Programmes on Economic Growth in Low Income Countries: An Empirical Analysis
Using an LIC-specific participation model, we adopt a propensity score matching (PSM) methodology to compare economic growth performance in countries with and without IMF programmes over the period 1989–2008. Concessional programmes are found to have had a generally positive effect on economic growth for up to two years after agreements were signed. The effects are contingent on other factors including overall initial economic conditions, recent …
Examining the indivisibility of human rights: A statistical analysis
This article tests the claim that human rights are indivisible. If human rights are indeed indivisible then an examination of the relationships between different rights should reveal a strong, bidirectional, and simultaneous link between either all rights (systematic indivisibility) or only some rights (partial indivisibility). To test the components of this claim, descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were used to assess the relations…
Individual BRICS or a collective bloc? Convergence and divergence amongst ‘emerging donor’ nations
In recent years a number of countries have established more prominent development assistance programmes. These ‘emerging donors’ are generally low- and middle-income countries with fewer links than traditional donors to multilateral frameworks for coordination. This article focuses primarily on whether these increasingly important donors will converge upon or challenge the behavioural norms that have emerged from traditional donor operations. It …
Micro‐Level Determinants of Remittances from Recent Migrants to Canada
Despite considerable interest in remittances to developing countries, the limited availability of large sample data has constrained aspects of our understanding of remitter behaviour. This paper utilizes data from Statistics Canada’s Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada (LSIC) to investigate how the demographic characteristics of recent immigrants influence their remittance levels shortly after their arrival in Canada. We identify several …
Exchange Rate Regimes in Developing and Emerging Economies and the Incidence of IMF Programs
The IMF and the mobilisation of foreign aid
Particularly in the context of the Millennium Development Goals, there has been much discussion of the association between the International Monetary Fund and bilateral aid flows. What role should the Fund be playing in helping to achieve the MDGs? Some observers have suggested that the Fund should seek to reduce its role in poor countries and should be minimising its own lending. They see aid donors taking on a larger role and present the IMF an…
Vengeance and Intervention: Can Third Parties Bring Peace without Separation
From a legal and practical point of view, separation is never easy. On the one hand, there is the perceived need to support struggling minorities who demand self determination as an inalienable rig
The Effects of Poverty, Environmental Degradation, and Gender Conditions on South—to—North Migration
This paper reviews the evidence on how poverty, environmental degradation, and gender conditions affect migration, and then tests some of the hypotheses that emerge using emigration rates from low- and middle-income countries to wealthier industrial countries. At the source country level of analysis, the relationship between income and emigration rates is non-linear. Several other variables, such as economic growth, education level, and access to…
Twisting One Arm: The Effects of Biased Interveners
There is currently little consensus on whether impartiality is necessary for the successful management of today's conflicts, especially when using forceful intervention. In this article we identify how combatants will react to forceful biased intervention by a third party based on the extant models of conflict and intervention. Under fairly general circumstances the favoured side is expected to de-escalate, while the targeted side is expected to …
World Bank Lending And Other Financial Flows: Is There a Connection
At a time when there is a serious debate about reforming the international financial architecture, it is important to understand how existing multilateral agencies affect financial flows to emerging and less-developed countries. This paper extends past research - which has focused on the International Monetary Fund - by examining the various mechanisms through which the World Bank may be associated with other financial flows, and by presenting ne…
Do the multilaterals catalyse other capital flows? A case study analysis
A commonly-held view is that lending by the multilaterals (the IMF and the World Bank) catalyses others to lend, including private capital markets and official bilateral aid donors. To the extent that this view influences reform of the multilaterals, it is important to know whether it is right or wrong. While there is a growing amount of aggregate econometric evidence that calls into question the existence of the catalytic effect, there is always…
Domestic Governance and International Migration
IMF Resource Management in a World of Mobile Capital
This paper examines whether or not liberalized capital-account regulations have increased the frequency and magnitude of IMF programs in developing countries. It briefly reviews the literature on the role of financial liberalization in causing balance-of payments crises. Empirical evidence is then presented which examines the connection between capital account liberalization and IMF resource use. Contrary to initial expectations, capital account …
Three's Company: Evaluating Third-Party Intervention in Intrastate Conflict
In the aftermath of the cold war, intrastate conflicts have emerged to challenge international stability and security. Although some authors have attempted to identify strategies for bringing these conflicts to a peaceful conclusion, these recommendations have not been formally grounded. In this study, the authors develop a game-theoretic model based on the mission's intensity, the salience of the conflict to the intervener, the capabilities of t…
International Aspects of the Division of Debt under Secession: The Case of Quebec and Canada
Le problème de la division de la dette publique du Canada advenant la sécession du Québec a déjà reçu beaucoup d’attention. Cependant, un grand nombre de règles de divisions proposées n’ont pas été justifiées analytiquement ou l’ont été seulement de façon normative. Après avoir passé en revue les écrits dans ce domaine, cet article s’appuie sur les perspectives des théories de la dette et de la négociation pour construire un cadre analytique posi…
Development Impeding Institutions: The Political Economy Of Haiti
The paper develops the concepts of development impeding institutions and exclusive development, and examines their interrelationship. Haiti is used as a case study to illustrate bow the two can interact to form a “trap” in which exploitive institutions and severe inequities become mutually reinforcing. The implications of this institutional approach provide a strong justification for development policies which target institutional reform and empo…
