摘要
This essay critically reviews findings on the economic effects of foreign development aid and lending, and on the "high" and "low" politics of aid. Although aid appears not to increase growth, reduce corruption, or increase revenues in recipient countries, donor countries are unlikely to reform aid and lending programs because these programs successfully serve political purposes. Alternatives to publicly funded aid are considered.
