Aid and growth : asymmetric effects?
Dörr, Leo - 2024 - Version: March 2024
This paper provides new empirical findings on the aid-growth relation. We find evidence for considerable asymmetry in the aid-growth relation; i.e., aid cuts have a large negative impact on economic activity, while increasing aid may be ineffective in promoting growth. Development aid thus...

Kourtellos, Andros; Tan, Chih Ming; Zhang, Xiaobo - 2012
In this paper, we investigate the relationship between foreign aid and growth using recently developed sample splitting methods that allow us to uncover evidence for the existence of heterogeneity and nonlinearity simultaneously. We also implement a new methodology that allows us to deal with...

Global poverty, aid, and middle-income countries : are the country classifications moribund or is global poverty in the process of 'nationalizing'?
Sumner, Andrew - 2013
The majority of the world's poor, by income poverty and multi-dimensional poverty, now live in countries officially … classified by the World Bank as middle-income countries. Of course nothing happens when a country crosses a (somewhat) arbitrary … ending aid. In light of this, this paper considers two competing perspectives on this changing pattern of global poverty: the …

Aid and Income : Another Time-Series Perspective
Tarp, Finn - 2015

The impact of aid on growth revisited : do donor motives matter?
Kilby, Christopher; Dreher, Axel - 2009
The typical identification strategy in aid effectiveness studies assumes donor motives do not influence the impact of aid on growth. We call this homogeneity assumption into question, first constructing a model in which donor motives matter and then testing the assumption empirically. -- Aid ;...
