Data on foreign aid, gdp and governance variables were from the World Bank governance archives covering five sub-Saharan African countries. The paper applied the ols and fixed effect panel multiple regression analysis. From the first analysis, findings show a negative link between external aid and gdp per capita in sub-Saharan Africa. In the second analysis with governance moderating variables, findings indicate a positive relationship between foreign aid and gdp with rule of law providing a positive boost to foreign aid and gdp growth, but corruption and governance have a negative relationship with economic growth. The paper highlights policy implications for the need to bridle corruption and to strengthen governance institutions to enable foreign aid to function effectively toward economic growth. The paper suggests an agenda for further research to apply more governance institution variables in further analysis of aid effectiveness in sub-Saharan Africa economic growth.","PeriodicalId":30026,"journal":{"name":"Managing Global Transitions","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69338908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The GMM and VECM methods are employed in estimating the relationships and impacts, for the period 1980-2019. Results from the two estimation methods are comparable and consistent. The effect of foreign development assistance is revealed to be positive, and more significant than that of monetary policy, but less significant than fiscal policy. The control variable, exchange rate, exerts significant negative effect on growth. The results also reveal that economic growth is unable to significantly reinforce itself. Generally, the estimation results conform to theoretical expectations of the relationships that exist between economic growth and the underlying variables. The results are also considered to be significantly reliable for forecasting and policy making.","PeriodicalId":30026,"journal":{"name":"Managing Global Transitions","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48221665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
