Aid with multiple personalities (2009, methodology): “We follow Burnside and Dollar (2000) and Easterly et al. (2004) and use a group of variables that captures donors’ “strategic interests” – proxied by dummy variables for Franc Zone (franczone), a dummy for being ex-colony of UK (f_brit), a dummy for Central American countries (cam), the logarithm…”
Rhetoric versus reality: the best and worst of aid agency practices (2011, neutral): “…in achieving development, see ([Boone, 1996], [Svensson, 1999, 2000], [Knack, 2001], [Brumm, 2003], [Ovaska, 2003], [Brautigam and Knack, 2004], [Easterly et al., 2004], [Djankov, Montalvo, and Reynal-Querol, 2006, 2008], [Hartford and Klein, 2005], [Heckelman and Knack, 2008] and [Williamson,…”

The impact of foreign direct investment, foreign aid and trade on poverty reduction: Evidence from Sub-Saharan African countries (2020, background): “However, some studies are on the other side of the divide and argue against the impact of aid on economic development and poverty reduction (Boone, 1996; Chong et al., 2009; Easterly et al., 2004; Moyo, 2009).”
Does Conditionality Work? A Test for an Innovative US Aid Scheme (2011, neutral): “Strict selectivity in granting aid exclusively to needy and well performing recipients was expected to strengthen the reform-mindedness of possible recipient countries.”
The Politics of Effective Foreign Aid (2010, background): “Most studies examining the relationship between aid and growth use some form of the OECD Development Assistance Committee data, aggregated across all sectors and all donors (Burnside & Dollar 2000, Easterly et al. 2004, Roodman 2007).”
It Works; It Doesn't; It Can, But That Depends (2006, background): “…submits not only the Burnside–Dollar results, but also those of Collier and Dehn (2001), Collier and Hoeffler (2002), and Collier and Dollar (2002) , to a battery of additional tests relating to specification differences, variable definitions and, like Easterly et al. (2004) sample expansion.”
