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...

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...

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...

0

water-alternatives.org -

A study in three countries (Bangladesh, Ethiopia and Uganda) assessed progress against the Paris Principles for Aid Effectiveness (AE) in three sectors – water, health and education – to test the assumption that the water sector is lagging behind. The findings show that it is too simplistic to say that the water sector is lagging, although this may well be the case in some countries.

Aid effectiveness agenda: Benefits of a European approach

0

reliefweb.int -

The three High Level Meetings resulting in the Rome and Paris Declarations and the Accra Agenda for Action set in motion a major effort to reform the development cooperation system, especially at the development partner level. While some progress has been achieved towards more efficient and effective aid delivery, the general consensus among donors and development partners is that the system is still beset by serious inefficiencies, reducing the impact of aid.

Is overseas development aid working?

0

international-alert.org -

These are extraordinary times for those who work in overseas development. We are living through a recession of historic proportions, and yet thus far there are few overt calls for a reduction in overseas development aid. The main questions for the 2010 election will be about public spending: where to make cuts and how deep should they be? In the past, faced with similar pressures, there would have loud and widely voiced calls for a retrenchment of overseas development assistance (ODA), and a more...
