Foreign Aid in the Presence of Corruption: Differential Games among Donors

Abstract

Abstract We consider two dynamic games of foreign aid. Model 1 deals with the case where donor countries continually feel the warm glow from the act of giving. Model 2 postulates that donors will stop giving aid when a target level of development is reached. In Model 1 , there are multiple equilibria that can be Pareto ranked. In Model 2 , the equilibrium strategies are nonlinear functions of the level of development. The flow of aid falls at a faster and faster rate as the target is approached. An increase in corruption will increase the flow of aid.
