Making Progress on Foreign Aid (2015, unknown): “…Dutch Disease, where the increase in aid increases the exchange rate, which increases the price of exports and thus reduces the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector (Rajan & Subramanian 2011).6 Second, consider conflict, which has received significant attention from recent empirical studies.”
The Implications of Natural Resource Exports for Nonresource Trade (2016, unknown): “Considering foreign aid as the windfall, Rajan and Subramanian (2011) find that aid inflows are associated with lower growth rates of industries with relatively high proportions of value added going to exports, and Prati and Tressel (2006) find negative associations between aid and the balance of…”
When and Why Worry About Real Exchange Rate Appreciation? The Missing Link Between Dutch Disease and Growth (2013, background): “Rajan and Subramanian (2009) examine the impact of aid on the relative size of and growth in the tradable manufacturing sector, using an approach that exploits the variation within countries and across manufacturing sectors, and corrects for possible reverse causality.”
Who Benefits from Aid for Trade? Comparing the Effects on Recipient versus Donor Exports (2014, methodology): “We follow Polak (1996), Redding and Venables (2004), and Warin, Wunnava and Janicki (2009) and derive Dit by using the estimated coefficients of a standard gravity model as weights.”
Large Capital Inflows, Sectoral Allocation and Economic Performance (2015, methodology): “As the UNIDO data are in nominal terms, we deflate them using the aggregate GDP deflator (taken from the WDI), as is standard in the literature (e.g. Kroszner et al., 2007; Ciccone and Papaioannou, 2009; Gupta and Yuan, 2009; Levchenko et al., 2009; Rajan and Subramanian, 2011).”
On the simultaneity problem in the aid and growth debate (2013, background): “For a recent paper that uses cross-industry data to examine the growth eects of aid, see Rajan and Subramanian (2010).”
