'Today's questions regarding foreign aid centre around aid
allocation dynamics, the impact on trade and growth for receivers
as well as donors, and, quite frequently, on aid effectiveness. The
inter-relationship between aid and politics are also topics of high
interest. These are precisely the issues that the Handbook edited
by B. Mak Arvin and Byron Lew deals with. In more than 30
contributions, some highly renowned development scholars use the
theoretical state of the art combined with empirically based
econometric approaches to analyse various issues in the foreign aid
field. It is a great pleasure for science-oriented readers to find
a wealth of findings derived from hard data and rigorous analytical
methods. The book is an excellent contribution to the current
foreign aid discussion.' - Siegfried Schoenherr, Ifo Institute for
Economic Research, Germany 'A title like Handbook on the Economics
of Foreign Aid is ambitious; it promises coverage of literature
that spans from theory to empirics, from macro to micro levels of
analysis, from positive to normative economics. This Handbook
fulfills this ambition 100 percent. It will be the single place
that people will go to get a state-of-the-art survey of a
particular issue. Some chapters are written by established experts
in the area, others by newcomers that bring a fresh view on the
issues involved. All in all, a book that future researchers in
foreign aid must consult.' - Pascalis Raimondos, Copenhagen
Business School, Denmark It would be fair to say that foreign aid
today is one of the most important factors in international
relations and in the national economy of many countries - as well
as one of the most researched fields in economics. Although much
has been written on the subject of foreign aid, this book
contributes by taking stock of knowledge in the field, with
chapters summarizing long-standing debates as well as the latest
advances. Several contributions provide new analytical insights or
empirical evidence on different aspects of aid, including how aid
may be linked to trade and the motives for aid giving. As a whole,
the book demonstrates how researchers have dealt with increasingly
complex issues over time - both theoretical and empirical - on the
allocation, impact, and efficacy of aid, with aid policies placed
at the center of the discussion. In addition to students,
academics, researchers, and policymakers involved in development
economics and foreign aid, this Handbook will appeal to all those
interested in development issues and international policies.
