The Determinants of Aid in the Post-Cold War Era Bandyopadhyay, Subhayu Wall, Howard J. civil rights economic aid economic conditions government agencies government performance Gross Domestic Product income infant mortality international assistance political rights poverty World Bank ICPSR.XVIII IDRC.II The authors estimate the responsiveness of aid to recipient countries' economic and physical needs, civil/political rights, and government effectiveness. They look exclusively at the post-Cold War era and use fixed effects to control for the political, strategic, and other considerations of donors. They find that aid and per capita income have been negatively related, while aid has been positively related to infant mortality, rights, and government effectiveness. 2007-11-08 21302 10.3886/ICPSR21302.v1 Albania Algeria Angola Argentina Armenia Azerbaijan Bahamas Bahrain Bangladesh Belarus Belize Benin Bolivia Botswana Brazil Bulgaria Burkina Faso Burundi Cambodia Cameroon Cape Verde Central African Republic Chad Chile China (Peoples Republic) Colombia Comoros Costa Rica Croatia Czech Republic Democratic Republic of Congo Djibouti Dominican Republic Ecuador Egypt El Salvador Eritrea Estonia Ethiopia Fiji Gabon Gambia Georgia (Republic) Ghana Global Grenada Guatemala Guinea Guyana Haiti Honduras Hungary India Indonesia Iran Israel Ivory Coast Jamaica Jordan Kazakhstan Kenya Kuwait Kyrgyzstan Laos Latvia Lebanon Lesotho Lithuania Macedonia Madagascar Malawi Malaysia Mali Malta Mauritania Mauritius Mexico Moldova Mongolia Morocco Mozambique Namibia Nepal Nicaragua Niger Nigeria Oman Pakistan Panama Papua New Guinea Paraguay Peru Philippines Poland Romania Russia Rwanda Saint Kitts-Nevis Samoa Saudi Arabia Senegal Seychelles Sierra Leone Singapore Slovakia Slovenia Solomon Islands South Africa Sri Lanka St. Lucia Sudan Swaziland Syria Tajikistan Tanzania Thailand Togo Tonga Tunisia Turkey Turkmenistan Uganda Ukraine Uruguay Uzbekistan Vanuatu Venezuela Vietnam Yemen Zambia Zimbabwe ICPSR metadata records are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 United States License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/us/).
