Does aid affect governance (2007, background): “…point increase in the ratio of aid-to-GDP is associated with a reduced share of manufacturing in total GDP of about 0.2-0.3 percentage points.2 1 See, for example, Easterly (2003), Easterly, Levine, and Roodman (2004), Hansen and Tarp (2001), Roodman (2004), and Rajan and Subramanian (2005a).”
Does foreign aid distort incentives and hurt growth? Theory and evidence from 75 aid-recipient countries (2008, methodology): “Other recent theoretical models with aid include Lensink and White (2001), Dalgaard and Hansen (2001), Svensson (2003), Chatterjee et al. (2003), Torsvik (2005) and Morrison (2007). However, these models do not study how aid fosters rent seeking and how this affects growth.”
AID, Policy and Peace: Reducing the risks of civil conflict (2002, background): “policy, ( Hansen and Tarp 2001, Burnside and Dollar 2000, Collier and Dollar 2002), as”
Counting Chickens when they Hatch: Timing and the Effects of Aid on Growth* (2012, positive): “As a whole, Tables 6 and 7 suggest that the null result of BD in column (1) can be attributed to: the imposition of a strictly linear effect of aid (Hansen and Tarp, 2001); and a failure to identify the causal portion of the aid–growth relationship, either by testing contemporaneous correlations (OL”
The Dynamic Implications of Foreign Aid and its Variability (2005, background): “…may boost growth because it supplements the limited supply of domestic saving available for investment; but although some empirical evidence suggests that investment increases with aid (for example, Hansen and Tarp, 2001; Clemens et al., 2004), this evidence is far from conclusive (Easterly, 1999).”
The Anarchy of Numbers (2007, background): “Han- sen and Tarp (2001) make one prominent attack.”
Does Foreign Aid In Education Promote Economic Growth? Evidence From Sub-Saharan Africa (2014, background): “In their seminal paper, Hansen and Tarp (2001) asserted that three factors may cause the estimates from aid-growth regressions to be biased: (i) the joint effect of endogeneity of aid flows; (ii) unobserved country specific factors; and (iii) conditional convergence.”
