Abstract: Abstract Foreign aid’s impact on recipients’ institutions is a much-researched topic. Does foreign aid have the power to affect political and economic institutions? Many studies have characterized aid’s impact on institutional quality as being detrimental; however, there are counter arguments and evidence suggesting that aid can positively increase political and economic freedom under certain institutional or macro arrangements. The main purpose of this chapter is to summarize the recent studies in this area.
