Evaluation of the impact of foreign aid on growth and developmentCollodel, Andrew Giovanni Pietro 11 1900 (has links)
Foreign aid is publicly motivated by a moral obligation to help the poor and develop
underdeveloped countries. Donors have invested more than US$2.3 trillion in foreign aid,
but despite this significant investment, 3 billion people are still living on less than $2 a day,
840 million are hungry, 10 million children die from preventable disease, and 1 billion
adults are illiterate.
This study focuses on the impact of foreign aid on economic growth and development of
underdeveloped countries. It was found that many variables influence growth and
development and that cross-country regression analysis is an inappropriate method to
measure the effectiveness of aid. The methodology is too generalist, and treats foreign aid
as a homogenous entity that works equally in all countries in all types of environment and
across all times. There is an urgent need to develop a new methodology for measuring the
effectiveness of foreign aid. / Development Studies / M. A. (Development Studies)
