Aid, Growth and Decentralization

0

editorialexpress.com -

This paper examines whether the federal structure of aid-receiving countries matters in explaining aid effectiveness. Following the decentralization theorem, the devolution of powers should increase aid effectiveness, since local decision-makers are better informed about local needs. At the same time, decentralization has reverse effects, e.g., through coordination problems, excessive regulation, administrative costs and local capture. Using panel data for up to 59 countries, we find that aid more...

Aid and growth: have we come full circle?

0

wider.unu.edu -

The micro-macro paradox has been revived. Despite broadly positive evaluations at the micro and meso-levels, recent literature has turned decidedly pessimistic with respect to the ability of foreign aid to foster economic growth. Policy implications, such as the complete cessation of aid to Africa, are being drawn on the basis of fragile evidence.This paper first assesses the aid-growth literature with a focus on recent contributions.The aid-growth literature is then framed, for the first time, more...

0

This follows the G8's admission of failure in tackling hunger at it’s first-ever farm conference in Treviso, Italy -2009.Proposals to challenge hunger have become a common feature of international conferences since the more...

Aid, Dutch Disease, and Manufacturing Growth

0

cgdev.org -

The authors examine the effects of aid on the growth of manufacturing using a methodology that exploits the variation within countries and across manufacturing sectors and that corrects for possible reverse causality. They find that aid inflows have systematic adverse effects on a country’s competitiveness, as reflected in the lower relative growth rate of exportable industries. They provide some evidence suggesting that the channel for these effects is the real exchange rate appreciation more...

It is not only the investment by the recipient Government and the Development Partners that is at risk when a computerized information system gets wobbly after the project has packed up and headed home; the intended beneficiaries can stand to lose much more.For example, let’s say a manual system involving word-of-mouth in a Small Island Developing State (SIDS) has been the historical process for collection, collation, and assessment of data relating to the Health sector.
