"Waiting Is the Hardest Part: IMF Lending Responsiveness, 1984-2009," with Daniel McDowell, Assistant Professor of Political Science. For more than 30 years the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has played a central role in managing international financial crises by providing emergency loans to economies facing difficult circumstances. In this presentation, Prof. McDowell introduces new data measuring the responsiveness of the IMF to borrower-country loan requests. Why does the Fund approve some loans more swiftly than others? McDowell's empirical analyses show that a borrowercountry’s geopolitical and financial importance to the U.S. (as well as other key Fund shareholders) influences the speed with which requests are approved. Sponsored by PARCC - Program for the Advancement of Research on Conflict and Collaboration.

We’re Turning 100!


To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”

Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
