在1990年至2005年期间184个国家的重力模型中，我们表明，双边援助不仅与早先研究表明的捐助国出口呈正相关，而且与受援国对捐助国的出口也呈正相关。我们的解释是，强化的援助关系降低了距离的有效成本。我们发现以技术援助形式提供的援助具有特别强的效果。与贸易有关的援助(贸易援助)的影响很小，对与贸易有关的基础设施投资的援助充分说明了这一点。援助与贸易的联系在捐助者向撒哈拉以南非洲国家出口和受援国出口战略物资方面尤其密切。
In a gravity model for 184 countries between 1990 and 2005, we show that bilateral aid is not only positively correlated with donor exports, as suggested in earlier studies, but also positively associated with recipient exports to donors. Our interpretation is that an intensified aid relation reduces the effective cost of distance. We find a particularly strong effect of aid in the form of technical assistance. The effect of trade-related assistance (Aid for Trade) is small and fully accounted for by aid to investments in trade-related infrastructure. The aid-trade link is particularly strong for donor exports to Sub-Saharan African countries and for recipient exports of strategic materials.
