Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper examines the lending behaviour of the International Monetary Fund (IMF or Fund). In contrast to the existing literature, which attributes IMF lending to powerful member state interests and various economic determinants, I argue that the emergence of interlocutors sympathetic to the staff�s policy goals critically shapes the Fund�s willingness to �supply� a loan of a particular size as well as a government�s willingness to �demand� it. Similar professional training and work experience are critical factors, as they foster close ties between the Fund staff and their domestic interlocutors as well as shared understandings about the �appropriate� direction for policy. The Fund staff seek out sympathetic interlocutors due to normative biases and career advancement incentives, while sympathetic interlocutors seek out the Fund because they desire assistance in their domestic political struggles. I assess these arguments using a new dataset capturing the professional training background of IMF staff and emerging market and developing country officials. The evidence strongly suggests that sympathetic interlocutors matter: larger loans are extended to countries where government officials and the Fund staff share similar training.
