Donors’ openness to immigration and the effectiveness of foreign aid
Minasyan, Anna; Nunnenkamp, Peter - 2015
We argue that donors could improve the effectiveness of foreign aid by pursuing complementary and coherent non-aid policies. In particular, we hypothesize that aid from donors that are open to immigration has stronger growth effects than aid from closed donors. We estimate the aid-growth nexus...

Government ideology in donor and recipient countries : does political proximity matter for the effectiveness of aid?
Dreher, Axel; Minasyan, Anna; Nunnenkamp, Peter - 2013

Dreher, Axel; Nunnenkamp, Peter; Thiele, Rainer - 2007
This paper empirically analyzes the impact of aid on education for about 100 countries over the period 1970-2005. We estimate a system of equations to test whether and to what extent the impact of sector-specific aid on educational attainment depends on (i) the extent to which aid adds to...

Does aid for education attract foreign investors? : an empirical analysis for Latin America
Donaubauer, Julian; Herzer, Dierk; Nunnenkamp, Peter - 2013
We address the question of whether foreign aid helps attract foreign direct investment (FDI). This could be achieved if well targeted aid removed critical impediments to higher FDI inflows. In particular, we test the hypothesis that aid for education is an effective means to increase FDI flows...

Does conditionality work? : a test for an innovative US aid scheme
Öhler, Hannes; Nunnenkamp, Peter; Deher, Axel - 2010
Performance-based aid has been proposed as an alternative to the failed traditional approach whereby donors make aid conditional on the reform promises of recipient countries. However, hardly any empirical evidence exists on whether ex post rewards are effective in inducing reforms. We attempt...

Funding, competition and the efficiency of NGOs : an empirical analysis of non-charitable expenditure of US NGOs engaged in foreign aid
Nunnenkamp, Peter; Öhler, Hannes - 2010
We assess the determinants of the wide variation in the efficiency of foreign aid activities across US-based non-governmental organizations (NGOs). In particular, we analyze whether non-charitable expenditures for administration, management and fundraising depend on the intensity of competition...
