| Tiivistelmä: | The paper is at the crossroads of two strands of literature. One is the recent revival of work on the determinants and effects of foreign aid, summarized in World Bank (1998). The empirical work on aid has established three results: (1) foreign aid is most often used for largely wasteful public consumption (Peter Boone, 1994, 1996); (2) countries following good policies are helped by foreign assistance, but the probability that a country adopts "good" policies is not influenced by the amount of foreign aid received (Craig Burnside and David Dollar, 2000), in fact aid may even be counterproductive in some cases (Svensson, 2000); and (3) donor countries disburse foreign aid largely as a function of strategic considerations, rather than real needs of the receiving countries (Alesina and Dollar, 2000). |
