Um modelo sobre as condicionalidades do FMIex-ante ou ex-post?

Resumo

The credit lines granted by the IMF in a liquidity crisis environment differ in their conditionalities. In some situations, the resources are borrowed without the need of mandatory conditionalities to be met by the borrowers. On the other hand, there are cases when the resources are granted only after the country fulfill these conditions. This paper aims to build a model which shows the tradeoffs that arise between the conditionalities that IMF imposes to give access of the credit lines by the countries. Additionally, the model tries to understand when it’s better an immediate assistance or a conditional assistance. Conditional loans increase the incentives for fiscal measures that improve the country capacity in paying its sovereign debt (because the loans aren’t granted if the country doesn’t carry out the measures), but the immediate assistance has the advantage in alleviate liquidity costs. The model shows that the incentive of the country in paying its sovereign debt is concave on the conditionality, meaning that, in extreme cases, the best type of conditionality is ex-ante (immediate assistance upon pre-established conditions) or ex-post (assistance conditional on the fulfillment of conditionalities). Nonetheless, in cases when both the immediate liquidity assistance and conditional assistance increase the incentives of payment, the conditionalities take on a complementary character. The results corroborate the IMF credit lines designs because there are facilities that contemplate both types of conditionalities and others that contemplate only one of them.
