Does food aid Really have disincentive effects? New evidence from sub-Saharan Africa (2005, background): “(1988), Barrett et al. (2001) and Holden et al. (forthcoming) provide evidence that in some localities, food aid may have relieved seasonal credit constraints that limit farmers’ capacity to invest in mineral fertilizer, modern seeds and other productivity-enhancing inputs and to have sparked invest”
