Impacts of official development assistance on agricultural growth, savings and agricultural imports
研究了1974-1990年间56个发展中经济体的发展援助与农业产出增长和进口的关系，发现援助对农业增长有积极影响，并促进了援助国的市场扩张和贸易联系。
Abstract This paper explores the links between development assistance, agricultural output growth and imports in 56 developing economies over the period 1974–1990. The empirical model treats agricultural growth and imports, savings and aid as endogenous. The analysis also accounts for differences in macroeconomic policies. The results show that aid had a positive impact on agricultural growth. A robust relationship exits between aid and agricultural imports consistent with the argument that aid helps industrialized countries through market expansion and strengthened trade ties.
