The Determinants of Aid in the Post-Cold War Era

Principal Investigator(s): Bandyopadhyay, Subhayu, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis; Wall, Howard J., Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

Summary: 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. (more info)
