Stubbs, Thomas; Kentikelenis, Alexander; Stuckler, David; McKee, Martin; King, Lawrence, 2021, "Replication Data for: The impact of IMF conditionality on government health expenditure: A cross-national analysis of 16 West African nations", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/WBAKNS, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:8IUvriwryZgh5DRKxGrOcw== [fileUNF]
How do International Monetary Fund (IMF) policy reforms—so-called ‘conditionalities’—affect government health expenditures? We collected archival documents on IMF programmes from 1995 to 2014 to identify the pathways and impact of conditionality on government health spending in 16 West African countries. Based on a qualitative analysis of the data,... |

Reinsberg, Bernhard; Stubbs, Thomas; Kentikelenis, Alexander; King, Lawrence, 2021, "Replication Data for: Bad governance: How privatization increases corruption in the developing world", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/O1BYGX, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:ct/EKIRdOSv9pzIcbKXajQ== [fileUNF]
International organizations have become key actors in the fight against corruption. Among these organizations, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) maintains a powerful position over borrowing countries in its ability to mandate far-ranging policy reforms – so-called “conditionalities” – in exchange for access to financial assistance. While IMF pr... |

Stubbs, Thomas; Reinsberg, Bernhard; Kentikelenis, Alexander; King, Lawrence, 2021, "Replication Data for: How to evaluate the effects of IMF conditionality: An extension of quantitative approaches and an empirical application to public education spending", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/YSZ79K, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:jnvsll3KwNML6S+9ZTKYjA== [fileUNF]
Following calls for a more disaggregated approach to studying the consequences of IMF programs, scholars have developed new datasets of IMF-mandated policy reforms, or ‘conditionality.’ Initial studies have explored how conditions have, inter alia, affected tax revenues, public sector wages, and health systems. Notwithstanding the important contrib... |

Stubbs, Thomas; Kentikelenis, Alexander; King, Lawrence, 2021, "Replication Data for: Catalyzing aid? The IMF and donor behavior in aid allocation", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/TE8TXZ, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:RCzD3dCYsTvjNlihZskYVw== [fileUNF]
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has often asserted that its programs encourage aid by signaling policy credibility, commonly referred to as aid catalysis. Our study investigates this claim for sector-specific aid and for bilateral and multilateral donors using data on 136 recipient countries for the 1986–2009 period. We employ a two-part quan... |

Reinsberg, Bernhard; Kentikelenis, Alexander; Stubbs, Thomas; King, Lawrence, 2021, "Replication Data for: The world system and the hollowing out of state capacity: How structural adjustment programs affect bureaucratic quality in developing countries", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/SCQTJX, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:255sRRTCNjbJLchpzwGkyg== [fileUNF]
The administrative ability of the state to deliver effective policy is essential for economic development. While sociologists have long devoted attention to domestic forces underpinning state capacity, the authors focus on world system pressures from Western-dominated international organizations. Scrutinizing policy reforms mandated by the Internat... |

Reinsberg, Bernhard; Stubbs, Thomas; Kentikelenis, Alexander, 2021, "Replication Data for: Unimplementable by design? Understanding (non-)compliance with International Monetary Fund policy conditionality", https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/QTFOGF, Harvard Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:B/N85SBwHnxSyyzJZ+YI2A== [fileUNF]
Why do governments fail to implement policy commitments in contractual agreements with international organizations? While scholars have scrutinized domestic factors as obstacles to compliance, we argue that reform programs may be unimplementable by design. We study this hypothesis in the context of International Monetary Fund (IMF) programs, in whi... |
