对于外国援助是否能够可靠地促进受援国的经济增长，几乎没有共识。我们回顾了有关援助分配的文献，并提供了新的证据表明，自1990年以来，援助捐助者奖励政治支持，而不是政治包容性。然后，我们研究了一些挑战，在分析跨国数据的援助/增长的关系。最后，我们讨论的因果机制，通过对外援助可能会影响增长，并认为，政治可以被视为两个（a）条件的因果关系的过程中，援助增长和（B）的内生因素，这是由对外援助的影响，反过来又影响经济增长。
There is little consensus on whether foreign aid can reliably increase economic growth in recipient countries. We review the literature on aid allocation and provide new evidence suggesting that since 1990 aid donors reward political contestation but not political inclusiveness. Then we examine some challenges in analyzing cross-national data on the aid/growth relationship. Finally, we discuss the causal mechanisms through which foreign aid might affect growth and argue that politics can be viewed as both (a) an exogenous constraint that conditions the causal process linking aid to growth and (b) an endogenous factor that is affected by foreign aid and in turn impacts economic growth.
