Nation Building and Economic Growth
研究了半个多世纪以来三百多次国家建设行动对受援国人均GDP增长的影响，通过增长回归框架量化军事和经济援助在冲突地区的效果。
Over the past half-century there have been over three hundred instances of nation building initiatives, episodes where countries jointly give military and economic aid to a country embroiled in conflict. Despite the prevalence and expense of this foreign policy, little research has explored the potential growth effects from these operations. This project uses a standard growth regression framework to quantify the effects of nation building on GDP per capita growth of the recipient nation. The research considers how the characteristics of conflict zones and the interaction of diverse types of both military and economic aid impact the development process.
