The Welfare Economics of Foreign Aid

Abstract

It is part of received doctrine among specialists in the theory of international trade that unilateral transfers harm the donor country and benefit the recipient. In sharp contrast to that doctrine, it has been asserted by specialists in the theory of economic development that, frequently, foreign aid does more harm than good in the recipient country and operates to the advantage of exporters in the donor country. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
