Foreign aid and ecological outcomes in poorer countries: an empirical analysis

Applied Economics Letters, 2009, vol. 16, issue 3, 295-299

Abstract: This article examines the relationship between foreign aid and ecological harm in developing countries. The study covers three types of ecological injury: carbon dioxide damage, water pollution and net deforestation. Results based on an empirical model where aid and injury are jointly determined, suggest that aid flows affect ecological conditions in poorer countries as well as being the result of these conditions.
