Resumen
Descripción
The authors use an original data set
covering more than 400 recent natural disasters to analyze
the determinants of international emergency aid. Although
humanitarian need is a major determinant of emergency relief
payments, the results imply that political and strategic
factors play a crucial role in the emergency aid allocation.
On average, donor governments favor smaller, geographically
closer, and oil exporting countries, and display significant
biases in favor of politically less aligned countries as
well as toward their former colonies. The authors also test
and reject the independence of donors' aid decisions,
finding strong evidence for bandwagon effects in
humanitarian assistance.
