摘要：Using panel data for 188 countries over the period 1970-2002 this paper empirically analyzes
the influence of the IMF and the World Bank on voting patterns in the UN General Assembly.
Countries receiving adjustment programs and larger non-concessional loans from the World
Bank vote more frequently in line with the average G7 country. The same is true for countries
obtaining non-concessional IMF programs. Regarding voting coincidence with the US, World
Bank (concessional and non-concessional) loans have a significant impact, while the IMF has
not. These results are robust to the inclusion of control variables and method of estimation.
