我们分析了各种双边和多边捐助者的援助组合，测试他们是否根据千年发展目标（MDGs）优先考虑援助。采用Tobit模型，将部门分类的援助数据与反映受援国在千年发展目标方面情况的各种指标结合起来，我们表明，捐助者在其部门援助分配有助于实现主要千年发展目标的程度上存在差异。一些千年发展目标，特别是抗击艾滋病毒/艾滋病，影响了援助的分配。然而，在其他千年发展目标方面，如初等教育，捐助者的言论与实际援助分配之间存在相当大的差距。由此得出的结论是，除非改善援助的目标，否则目前着重于大幅增加援助的做法不太可能产生预期的效果。
We analyze the aid portfolio of various bilateral and multilateral donors, testing whether they have prioritized aid in line with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Employing Tobit models that combine sectorally disaggregated aid data with various indicators reflecting the situation of recipient countries regarding the MDGs, we show that donors differ in the extent to which their sectoral aid allocation is conducive to achieving major MDGs. Some MDGs, notably the fight against HIV/AIDS, have shaped the allocation of aid. However, with respect to other MDGs such as primary education, there is a considerable gap between donor rhetoric and actual aid allocation. This invites the conclusion that the current focus on substantially increasing aid is unlikely to have the desired effects unless the targeting of aid is improved.
