摘要：This paper aims to assess the effects of aid on fiscal behavior in Indonesia. There are four
main findings. First, aid inflow is primarily driven by the need to fill the fiscal gap. That
is, aid is demand driven. Second, although project aid is by definition intended for
development expenditures, it results in an increase in routine expenditure as well. This
suggests that project aid is fungible: it creates extra resources available to increase nondiscretionary
spending. Third, program aid tends to increase routine expenditure but not
development expenditure; thus it mainly serves as budget support. Fourth, aid flows
make the government fiscally .lazy.. The availability of aid is a disincentive to mobilise
domestic revenue through a more efficient and effective taxation system.
