The analysis illustrates how various factors, such as the debtor's gains from trade and the level of world interest rates, affect the relative bargaining power of various parties to a rescheduling agreement. If creditor-country taxpayers have a vested interest in maintaining normal levels of trade with debtor countries, then they can sometimes be bargained into making sidepayments. The benefits from unanticipated creditor-country sidepayments accrue to both lenders and borrowers. But the benefits from perfectly anticipated sidepayments accrue entirely to borrowers UR - http://elibrary.imf.org/view/IMF001/14558-9781451978254/14558-9781451978254/14558-9781451978254.xml UR - http://www.imfbookstore.org/IMFORG/9781451978254 ER -
