Economics Bulletin, 2013, vol. 33, issue 4, 2627-2633

Abstract: This article investigates if the stability of aid flows has an impact on investment and economic growth for the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) countries using pooled panel regression from 1970-2008. The results suggest that foreign aid has a positive and significant impact on investment, but a negative impact on economic growth. The uncertainty variable has a negative and statistically significant impact on both economic growth and investment
