How Have IMF Priorities Evolved? : A Text Mining Approach / Gareth Anderson, Paolo Galang, Andrea Gamba, Leandro Medina.

Our results reveal significant variation in priorities across time and constituencies. Statements can be characterized by the weight which they place on three key priorities: (i) growth; (ii) debt and development; and (iii) crisis management and quota reform. Sentiment analysis techniques also show that addressing climate change is a topic which is viewed positively by an increasing number of constituencies.
