No DP2003-71, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: This paper surveys recent research on aid and growth. It also provides an overview of research on inter-recipient aid allocation. The overall focus of the paper is on the relevance of these issues for poverty-efficient aid, defined as a pattern of inter-recipient aid allocation which maximises poverty reduction. It identifies a range of poverty-reducing criteria on which aid allocation or selectivity might be based, calling for a broader selectivity framework.
