本文探讨了外国援助对贫困的影响。援助对贫困的影响是使用动态面板估计技术进行评估的，这使我们能够控制时不变的具体国家的影响和援助的内生性。结果表明，即使控制了平均收入，援助也具有显着的减贫效果。具体而言，外国援助与以贫困率、贫困差距指数和平方贫困差距指数衡量的贫困减少有关。我们还发现，援助的构成很重要多边援助和赠款在减少贫困方面比双边援助和贷款做得更好。版权所有© 2011约翰威利父子有限公司.
This paper examines the effect of foreign aid on poverty. The impact of aid on poverty is assessed using dynamic panel estimation techniques, which enable us to control for time-invariant country-specific effects and endogeneity of aid. The results suggest that aid has a significant poverty-reducing effect even after controlling for average income. Specifically, foreign aid is associated with a decline in poverty as measured by the poverty rate, poverty gap index and squared poverty gap index. We also find that the composition of aid matters—multilateral aid and grants do better in reducing poverty than bilateral aid and loans. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
