Reducing Poverty By Aid Reallocation: Uncertainties And Alternative Assumptions

Patrick Guillaumont ()

No 199928, Working Papers from CERDI

Abstract: Two recent World Bank documents argue that the effects of aid on growth depend on the recipient country policy (Burnside and Dollar) and that it is possible to allocate aid in order to maximize poverty reduction (Collier and Dollar). This study presents a critical examination of the assumption on which the two documents rely and suggest new assumption and orientations for research. It successively focuses on the aid-growth relationship, supposing that aid effectiveness depends on vulnerability as well as on policy, and on the poverty minimisation exercise, proposing to test directly the impact of aid on poverty reduction.
