• The Dynamic Implications of Foreign Aid and its Variability (2005, background): “Evidence indicates that aid flows are volatile, reflecting the vagaries of donors' budget allocations, donor conditionality, and other factors (Pallage and Robe, 2001; Bulí ř and Hamann, 2003, 2008; Bulí ř and Lane, 2004).”
• Business Cycles and Workers' Remittances: How Do Migrant Workers Respond to Cyclical Movements of GDP at Home? (2006, background): “Asynchronous correlation coefficients allow possible phase shifts to be identified by looking at how early or how late the highest correlation appears relative to the contemporaneous period ( Pallage and Robe, 2001; Alper, 2002).”
• Aid Volatility: An Empirical Assessment (2003, background): “To the best of our knowledge, Collier (1999) is the only study that finds aid (to sub-Saharan Africa) to be less volatile than tax revenues and countercyclical.5 AID VOLATILITY: AN EMPIRICAL ASSESSMENT 2Assuming that government spending is financed only with tax revenues and foreign aid, it is possi”
• Changing aid regimes? U.S. foreign aid from the Cold War to the War on Terror (2010, background): “U.S. military spending may Pallage and Robe (2001) find that the amount of aid individual developing countries receive is6 positively correlated with the global business cycle, suggesting that major donors are more generous when their economies are growing.”
• Success Criteria and Factors for International Development Projects: A Life-Cycle-Based Framework (2008, background): “In extreme cases, some donor countries may use development funding to nurture a political alliance with the leaders of the recipient countries, or simply to buy a good conscience (Pallage & Robe, 1998).”
• Volatility of Development Aid: From the Frying Pan into the Fire? (2008, unknown): “1 Subsequent research showed that aid was highly volatile, far exceeding that of other macroeconomic variables, such as GDP or fiscal revenue (Bulı́ř & Hamann, 2003; Fielding & Mavrotas, 2005; Pallage & Robe, 2001).”
• The ineffectiveness of development aid on growth: An update (2011, unknown): “In fact, a small body of literature exists, since Pallage and Robe (2001), showing that aid is procyclical.”
• Working Paper Number 129 Tax evasion, tax avoidance and development finance (2005, background): “3 Lensink and Morrissey (2000) find that uncertainty about aid receipts has a robust negative impact on the benefits to recipient countries; Pallage and Robe (2001) find aid to be pro-cyclical and a source of macroeconomic volatility; Bulí and Hamann (2005) find ‘that the main factors underlying…”
• Business Cycles in Developing Countries: Are They Different? (2001, background): “The correlation between Official Development Assistance (ODA) and GDP is also documented in Table 7a and 7b. Pallage and Robe (2001) show that for a majority of the Sub-Saharan African countries aid flows are pro-cyclical.13 This finding is not supported by our analysis.”
