Allocation de l'aide internationale et instabilités sociopolitiques

This paper proposes an econometric analysis of the effects of three kinds of socio-political instability - violent, social and elite - on foreign aid allocation. Arellano and Bond [1991] application of the generalized method of moments estima­tions show that the effect of socio-political instabilities on aid allocation depends both on the kind of instability and on receiving countries' characteristics (whether the receiving country is a low income country or an oil exporter).
