U.S. food aid and American exports to recipient countries during the Cold War
研究了1971-1990年间美国小麦援助是否促进了受援国对美国产品的总进口，发现两者存在稳健的正相关关系，支持了美国粮食援助为美国生产者创造更大市场的观点。
Abstract In this article, we test to what extent the food aid granted by the U.S. during the Cold War was strategically motivated and used to promote U.S. interests. Using the data for the period 1971–1990, we investigate whether U.S. wheat aid had an effect on recipient countries’ total import of American products. The evidence we provide suggests a positive and robust relationship and thus it is consistent with the argument that U.S. food aid helped to create larger markets for U.S. producers.
