The macroeconomic impact of development aid: A critical survey
Abstract
The early literature explained aid's macroeconomic impact in the context of the dual gap model, showing a clear link between aid and growth. Many now believe that the empirical evidence shows there to be no such relationship. This paper critically reviews the different theoretical perspectives ‐the dual gap model, the savings debate, recipient fiscal response, and aid as Dutch disease — and the empirical debates on aid, savings and growth. The basis for denying a relationship between aid and growth is shown to be weak, though more recent areas of research offer promising directions for future work.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
