This book brings together for the first time in a single volume a
complete survey of the theoretical foundations of economic aid
policies and a critical analysis of aid programs and practices. The
book focuses on the contributions of familiar economic growth
models and other economic and social theories of development to
foreign aid practices, and provides a broad and penetrating
overview of the economics of foreign aid. At the macroanalytical
level, the author investigates the savings constraint and the
foreign exchange constraint approaches and the models employed for
determining the quantity of external capital required for achieving
growth goals under varying economic conditions in the recipient
economies. The author examines other approaches to aid requirements
(including the capital absorptive approach), analyzes debt service
capacity, and reviews various debt cycle models. The nature and
significance of indicators of economic performance are
investigated, and both theoretical and practical policy issues
relating to the employment of aid as a means of influencing
domestic policies are analyzed. In his final chapter, the author
applies his theoretical conclusions to the formulation of an
integrated approach to foreign aid, encompassing the major foreign
assistance problems faced today. A clear and comprehensive text for
every student of development economics, as well as the most
thorough reference of its kind for professional economists, the
book, a volume in the Aldine Treatises in Modem Economics series,
will be useful to all who are concerned with the analysis,
development, and execution of aid programs.
