On the empirical side, the issue of the effectiveness of aid; fiscal implications of aid, the determinants of aid; the allocation criteria for aid; the relationship between aid and trade, and aid and poverty remain as important as ever. The contributions in this volume look at these issues from a number of different perspectives, using a number of different methodologies and different types of data sets (time series data fromAfrica,cross-countrydata,andpaneldata). Aim and Scope of the Volume: This volume contains a comprehensive analysis of foreign aid from both theoretical and empirical perspectives, written by leading re- searchersinthefield.Thebookshouldbeanessentialtoolforbothundergraduateand graduatestudentsofdevelopmentstudies,researchersinthefield,andpolicymakers trainedineconomics.
