Modelling the Allocation of Australian Bilaterial Aid: A Two‐Part Sample Selection Approach

Mark McGillivray and Eddie Oczkowski

The Economic Record, 1991, vol. 67, issue 2, 147-152

Abstract: This paper focuses on the allocation of Australian bilateral aid to developing countries. It simultaneously models the determination of potential recipients' eligibility for Australian aid and the amounts of aid that eligible countries receive. A variant of the econometric technique developed by Lee and Maddala (1985) is utilized. The results obtained indicate that the decisions underlying the allocation of Australian bilateral aid generally seem consistent with the humanitarian, commercial, political and strategic motives underlying the aid program as a whole.
