Master or Servant? Common Agency and the
Political Economy of IMF Lending
Mark S. Copelovitch
University of Wisconsin, Madison
What explains the substantial variation in the International Monetary
Fund’s (IMF) lending policies over time and across cases? Some schol-

accurately explains IMF lending behavior. Rather, I propose a ‘‘com-
mon agency’’ theory of IMF policymaking, in which the Fund’s largest
shareholders—the G5 countries that exercise de facto control over the
Executive Board (EB)—act collectively as its political principal. Using
this framework, I argue that preference heterogeneity among G5 gov-

tionality. Under certain conditions, preference heterogeneity leads to
either conflict or ‘‘logrolling’’ within the EB among the Fund’s largest
shareholders, while in others it creates scope for the IMF staff to exploit
‘‘agency slack’’ and increase its autonomy. Statistical analysis of an origi-
nal data set of 197 nonconcessional IMF loans to 47 countries from
1984 to 2003 yields strong support for this framework and its empirical
predictions. In clarif
