The effectiveness of foreign aid : a case study of NepalBhattarai , Badri Prasad, University of Western Sydney, College of Law and Business, School of Economics and Finance January 2005 (has links)
This thesis examines the effectiveness of foreign aid in Nepal, and adds to the growing literature on the issue of aid effectiveness. Until the mid 1960s, almost all development projects in Nepal were financed by foreign aid. Since 1970, the average aid/GDP ratio remains at over 6 per cent, and in 2002 foreign aid financed over 50 per cent of Nepal’s development expenditure. Despite the constant flow of foreign aid and decades of aid-financed development efforts in Nepal, it remains one of the poorest countries in the world, with per capita income of about US$ 243 and almost 40 per cent of the total population living in absolute poverty. This thesis is the first rigorous study of aid effectiveness in Nepal. It examines the issue from three complementary perspectives. First, it looks at aid’s contribution to per capita GDP within the framework of the neoclassical production function. Second, it examines aid’s contribution to Nepal’s gross domestic investment within a framework of the two-gap model. Since aid is channelled through the government, the thesis lastly examines the impact of foreign aid on government expenditure and revenue efforts. Our study uses time-series data for the period 1970-2002, and employs cointegration and the error correction mechanism as the estimation procedure. The results show that aid has a positive and significant relationship between per capita real GDP, savings and investment in the long-run. In addition, we find that aid effectiveness improves in a good policy environment, that is, one characterised by a stable macroeconomy, openness to trade and a liberalised financial sector. The study also finds that bilateral and multilateral aid are equally effective in the long-run. However, grants aid has a stronger positive association with per capita real GDP in the long-run than loans aid. Finally, the relationship between aid and per capita real GDP in the short-run is found to be negative in both aggregate and disaggregated forms. This implies that Nepal, as in the case of most other developing countries, suffers from lack of absorptive capacity and high aid volatility. / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Commerce over conscience : Canada's foreign aid programme in the 1980sGillies, David, 1952- January 1986 (has links)
This study is an examination of recent changes in the organisation and activity of Canada's foreign aid programme. Three conceptually distinct categories form the theoretical framework of the study: (a) contending approaches to the study of international relations; (b) contending conceptions of economic growth and development; and (c) contending approaches to the aid policy-making process. The study examines the multiple objectives underlying Canada's aid programme, develops and interprets a series of "aid quality" indices, and undertakes a detailed examination of the aid policy process. Emphasis is placed on tracing the specific combination of domestic "push" and international "pull" factors which have pressured Ottawa into initiatives promoting a closer linkage of the aid and trade facets of government activity. Attention is also drawn to the impact of these initiatives on the developmental objectives of the programme. / The principal finding of the study is that while Canada's aid programme has until recently been able to maintain a precarious balance between the opposing forces of philanthropy and self-interest, there are now unmistakable signs of a deliberate effort to tilt the programme in a more commercial direction. In this trend, the single case of Canada mirrors a more general pattern towards an increasingly commercial orientation in most donor aid programmes.
