摘要:This paper is a contribution to the aid effectiveness literature in two
important fronts. Firstly, it develops a new database for project aid
and programme aid disbursements for 104 developing countries, for
the period of 1973-2001. Secondly, using this new dataset and, food
aid and technical assistance data from the OECD-DAC database the
paper re-examines the savings displacement hypothesis. The main
results of this study can be summarised as follows. Firstly, taking
into account the functional classification of development aid casts
doubt on the conclusion and more importantly the policy
recommendation of the vast majority of the existing aid effectiveness
literature. Secondly, the results suggest, overall, that project aid
flows and food aid (excluding emergency and relief food aid) are
associated with a reduction domestic savings. By contrast, financial
programme aid and technical assistance grants do not appear to
reduce domestic savings.
