摘要:The consensus of the aid effectiveness literature is that foreign aid is effective at
spurring economic growth in recipient countries. However, economic growth is
heterogeneous in nature, driven by a number of different activities within an
economy. This paper contributes to the literature by disaggregating the Gross
Domestic Product of recipients in order to investigate the type of economic
growth that foreign aid spurs. Results are encouraging with evidence to suggest
that foreign aid is effective at increasing agricultural growth and household
consumption in recipient countries.
