Abstract
Foreign aid is a much explored topic in both the economics and political science literature. While extensive studies have helped us understand the role of foreign aid and the impact that it might have, ambiguous conclusions remain. This edited volume is an attempt to pull together the relatively recent established findings related to foreign aid. It not only summarizes the conclusions in the literature about aid’s impact on specific development outcomes but also highlights the role of politics in aid allocation as well as the role of private aid in affecting development outcomes. A distinguishing feature is that it deepens the reader’s understanding of the impact of foreign aid on development outcomes based on the latest findings in the research literature over the past decade.
