本文检验的假设，援助有助于增加总福利，衡量婴儿死亡率和人类发展指数（HDI），在受援国。估算依据的是104个国家1980-2000年期间的数据以及低收入和中等收入国家的次级样本。固定效应估计数提供了有力的证据，表明援助与福利指标价值的改善有关，这种效应在低收入国家似乎更大。援助似乎直接或通过对增长的影响来增加福利，没有证据表明援助是通过公共支出来运作的。(c)2004爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
This paper tests the hypothesis that aid contributes to increasing aggregate welfare, measured by infant mortality and the Human Development Index (HDI), in recipient countries. Estimation is based on data for 104 countries over the period 1980-2000, and for subsamples of low-income and middle-income countries. Fixed effect estimates provide robust evidence that aid is associated with improved values of the welfare indicators, and this effect appears to be greater in low-income countries. Aid appears to increase welfare either directly or through the effect on growth, and there is no evidence that aid operates through public spending. (c) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
