Does aid improve democracy and governance? A meta-regression analysis
journal contribution
posted on 2013-01-01, 00:00 authored by Zohidjon Askarov, H DoucouliagosThe paper provides a systematic and quantitative review of the empirical evidence on the effects of development aid on democracy and governance. We find that aid has had, on average, a zero or negative effect on democracy, except that it has had a positive effect on democratization in European transitional economies. Aid had a positive effect on governance during the Cold War period but has had no effect on governance in the post-Cold War period.
