A political economy perspective on regime-type export in regional neighbourhoods (2010, background): “Major studies in this area have concentrated on the effects of democracy promotion and on the instruments employed by democratic nations vis-à-vis other countries in order to achieve such effects (Carothers 1999, Burnell 2000, Finkel et al. 2007).”
• The Politics of Effective Foreign Aid (2010, background): “…researchers to more precisely assess the causal effect of aid on particular outcomes, such as health (Gebhard et al. 2008, Ravishankar et al. 2009), education (Dreher et al. 2008), the environment (Hicks et al. 2008), and democracy (Finkel et al. 2007, Stevens et al. 2007, Nielsen & Nielson 2008).”
• Individual and country-level factors affecting support for foreign aid (2008, background): “There is growing evidence that aid can produce positive outcomes, from democracy (Finkel et al., 2007) to economic growth (Burnside and Dollar, 2000; Roodman, 2007).”
