Arvind Subramanian

"They (the Mauritians) have such confidence in their rights, their votes, the power of their opinions."
—V.S. Naipaul,

Refocusing IMF Conditionality
Masood Ahmed, Timothy Lane, and Marianne Schulze-Ghattas
Shortly after he assumed office as Managing Director of the IMF in May 2000, Horst Köhler launched a reform of the conditionality associated with its lending. What lies behind this change in approach, and what prospects does it have for strengthening implementation of reforms in the IMF's member countries?
Human Rights and the IMF
Sérgio Pereira Leite

Oil Funds: Problems Posing as Solutions?
Jeffrey Davis, Rolando Ossowski, James Daniel, and Steven Barnett
Heavy dependence on oil revenues—which are volatile and unpredictable, and will, sooner or later, dry up— greatly complicates a country's fiscal policy. To tackle these problems, many oil-producing countries are setting up oil funds. But are these really a solution, or just a problem posing as one?
A Fresh Look at Keynes: Robert Skidelsky's Trilogy
Anand Chandavarkar
