“…Specifically, Jensen (2004) reports that countries signing an IMF programme receive on average 25% less FDI inflows than countries not under an IMF programme, after controlling for selection into an IMF programme. More recent studies identify conditions under which IMF programmes serve as a catalyst: Al‐Sadiq (2015) reports that for low‐income countries, participation in IMF programmes is associated with a significant increase in FDI inflows. Biglaiser and DeRouen (2010) find that IMF borrowers tend to become more attractive only to U.S. investors.…”

“…The connection between IMF programmes and FDI seems a logical extension of the link between IMF programmes and debt rescheduling or some other portfolio investment. When a country participates in an IMF programme that includes both IMF financial resources and economic and institutional reform policies aiming to stabilise macroeconomic indicators and to address structural constraints to economic growth, the participating country's prospects for economic recovery and policy reforms for better business environment should, in principle, improve, encouraging investors to embark on longer-term investment projects (Al-Sadiq, 2015). As long as the close link between an IMF programme and ensuing reforms holds, IMF programmes should stimulate FDI, reasonably assuming that investors seek a more advantageous business environment provided by implementation of IMF programme led policy reforms.…”

Welcome to Washington, D.C. for the 110th APSA Annual Meeting! This year's theme, Politics after the Digital Revolution, asks political scientists to consider the impact of digital technologies on politics and on how we study and teach politics. We know it's a more substantively focused charge for the meeting than in previous years, but its importance has clearly increased over the past year. asked you to consider issues such as collection of data about private citizens, the role of big data policy processes, the explosion of social media to document major world events, the use of data in political campaigns, efforts of governments to censor information, and new security challenges of information warfare. The response is exciting: at this meeting's theme panels and roundtables, you will find scholarship that considers politics after the digital revolution across the dozens of organized sections that define the broad substantive and methodological perspectives of the association. Not least of all, you will find active engagement with leading practitioners in public service, the mass media, think tanks, and the business community.It has been a real pleasure to work with APSA President John Aldrich over the past year. We encourage you to attend the Presidential Address, "Did Hamilton, Jefferson, and Madison 'Cause' the Government Shutdown?
