The pattern of aid giving : the impact of good governance on development assistance
Practically all donor countries that give aid claim to do so partly on the basis of the recipient country's quality of governance, but do these claims have a real impact on the allocation of aid? Are democratic, human rights-respecting countries with low levels of corruption and military expenditures more likely to receive aid than other countries? Do they also receive more aid than other countries? Using econometric analysis, the author examines the factors that determine the patterns of aid giving in the 1990s. Eric Neumayer analyses such examples as: (1) aggregate aid flows; (2) aid from multilateral organisations such as the EC and the UN; (3) aid from bilateral donors such as Germany, Japan and the US as well as Arab donors
