Abstract: This paper investigates the role of aid in mitigating the adverse effects of commodity export price shocks on growth in commodity-dependent countries. Using a large cross- country dataset, they find that negative shocks matter for short-term growth, while the ex ante risk of shocks does not seem to matter. [Discussion Paper No. 2008/06]
