Government ideology in donor and recipient countries : does political proximity matter for the effectiveness of aid?

Dreher, Axel; Fuchs, Andreas; Hodler, Roland; Parks, Bradley - 2019
Chinese aid comes with few strings attached, allowing recipient country leaders to use it for domestic political purposes. The vulnerability of Chinese aid to political capture has prompted speculation that it may be economically ineffective, or even harmful. We test these claims by estimating...

How to finance economic development in the new millennium : German capital exports to Asia and the debate on the effectiveness of official development financing
Nunnenkamp, Peter - 2000
