摘要
We estimate the impact on economic growth of the joint participation in both IMF and World Bank programs. More specifically, using panel data for 128 developing countries over the period 1982-2005, and employing 2SLS to control for the possible endogeneity of participation in an IMF/World Bank program, we find that the interaction between these two organizations has a positive and significant impact on growth. The paper then opens up interesting new research questions related to investigate further on the effects of Bank-Fund simultaneous action and, to the extent to which their stronger impact on growth may depend on Bank-Fund interaction, also ways to optimize their joint effect through greater cooperation.
