The effect of aid on growth: evidence from a Quasi-experiment (2014, positive): “The result in Column 2 implies that a 1 percentage point increase in the aid to GNI ratio from the same level is associated with a 0.14 percentage point increase in growth, consistent with the magnitudes obtained by Clemens et al. (2012).”
Does foreign aid harm political institutions (2015, methodology): “In the aid-growth context, Clemens et al. (2012) primarily rely on a first differenced version of (1).”
Knowledge Economy Gaps, Policy Syndromes, and Catch-Up Strategies: Fresh South Korean Lessons to Africa (2015, neutral): “Fourth, while researchers have become distrustful of results based on system GMM (Roodman 2007, 2008, 2009; Bazzi and Clemens 2010; Clemens et al. 2012), the absolute beta convergence estimations that are GMM-oriented are essentially employed in the paper to ascertain sigma catch-up estimations.”
Fighting terrorism in Africa: Benchmarking policy harmonization (2018, background): “…about initial endowments and multiple equilibria that are associated with system GMM estimations, some researchers are increasingly distrustful of findings from system GMM that are partly based on a difference equation (see Roodman, 2007, 2008, 2009a; Bazzi & Clemens, 2010; Clemens et al., 2012).”
Political Aid Cycles (2012, neutral): “4 Clemens et al. (2011) make the related argument that different kinds of aid have impacts over different time horizons.”
Blunt Instruments: Avoiding Common Pitfalls in Identifying the Causes of Economic Growth (2013, methodology): “11 Here, we extend and elaborate upon related points raised in Clemens et al. (2012), which provides more detail on these two seminal aid and growth studies. 12 See Hayashi (2000, 220, 232–34) for a discussion of these tests of overidentifying restrictions based on the difference-in-Hansen or C stat”
Aid Is Not Oil: Donor Utility, Heterogeneous Aid, and the Aid-Democratization Relationship (2015, background): “10Clemens et al. (2012); Bearce and Tirone (2010); Bermeo (2011).”
Aid and Growth at the Regional Level (2015, neutral): “42As Roodman (2015) shows, the procedure applied in Clemens et al. (2012) fails to remove contemporaneous endogeneity.”
Making Aid Work for Education in Developing Countries: an Analysis of Aid Effectiveness for Primary Education Coverage and Quality (2016, methodology): “Moreover, we simplify the estimation procedure drawing upon the arguments by Clemens et al. (2012) regarding the literature on aid and growth.”
The Meaning of Failed Replications: A Review and Proposal (2015, background): “…Easterly et al. (2004), etc. De-meaning interaction term Ciccone (2011) Miguel et al. (2004), Miguel and Satyanath (2011) New specifications Albouy (2012) Acemoğlu et al. (2001, 2012) Different data set by recoding key regressor Clemens et al.

Good Countries or Good Projects? Macro and Micro Correlates of World Bank Project Performance (2011, background): “Recent assessments over the past decade range from cautiously optimistic Burnside and Dollar (2000), Clemens et al. (2012), Hansen and Tarp (2000), Minoiu and Reddy (2009), and Arndt et al. (2010); to ambivalent, Roodman (2007); to skeptical and pessimistic, Easterly et al. (2004), Doucouliagos and…”
