Descripción
This paper explores the links between development assistance, agricultural output growth and imports in 56
developing economies over the period 1974-1990. The empirical model treats agricultural growth and imports,
savings and aid as endogenous. The analysis also accounts for differences in macroeconomic policies. The results
show that aid had a positive impact on agricultural growth. A robust relationship exits between aid and agricultural
imports consistent with the argument that aid helps industrialized countries through market expansion and
strengthened trade ties.
