We reviewed 44 papers on education and child labour, plus 57 studies on remittances and aspirations. We find no meaningful average effect of parental migration on education or labour outcomes. However, after correcting for publication bias and other study characteristics, migration is linked to less school disruption, likely due to improved finances, with no effect on educational performance/spending/duration, and mixed impacts on child labour. This aligns with the systematic reviews: Remittances tend to increase investment in education but do not necessarily translate into improved school performance. The aspiration channel stresses competing mechanisms between motivation derived from the observed parental sacrifice and a culture of migration reducing educational aspirations. Importantly, effects vary by context: benefits appear in low-income countries, while disruption dominates in upper-middle-income settings and particularly the Chinese context, highlighting the need for targeted policy support and calling policymakers of countries with high emigration and/or internal labour migration to be aware of the possible challenges of left-behind children and provide programs and safety nets for them.</p>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 7","pages":"1163-1185"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jid.70103","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149100440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the existing literature focuses largely on emerging donors from the Global South, such as Brazil, China, India and Russia, there are many emerging donors from the Global North that have joined the OECD's Development Assistance Committee (DAC)—the premier standard-setting organization in international development cooperation. How do these new members integrate into the existing international aid architecture? We study this question by analysing the compliance of traditional and newer donors with standards and best practices set by the DAC. We argue that new donors are more likely to adhere to DAC statistical reporting requirements, while traditional donors are better at following substantive policy guidelines to achieve global policy goals. In particular, we posit that the Secretariat interacts differently with members depending on their status: With new donors, it tends to support the adoption of statistical standards, which are necessary to align aid-giving practices with all other standards, while adherence with more substantive guidelines for aid effectiveness is scrutinized more closely for older members. We examine one mechanism that facilitates the integration of new DAC members: the Policy Marker System, an IO-driven monitoring system whose functioning requires both compliance with statistical guidelines and the adoption of good practices in aid giving. Our analyses indicate that new donors are indeed more likely to comply with procedural reporting requirements, while traditional donors are more likely to implement the more substantive DAC recommendation of targeting aid towards certain priority policy areas.</p>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 7","pages":"1097-1109"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jid.70000","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149100172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Neopatrimonialism refers to the coexistence of formally modern state institutions with personalistic rule through patronage networks, clientelism, and selective enforcement, and it creates structural incentives for firms and workers to operate outside formal regulatory frameworks. Despite a rich theoretical literature linking the patrimonial state to informality, no prior study has tested this relationship using a dedicated, multidimensional neopatrimonialism measure. Using panel data for up to 151 countries from 1990–2020, the V-Dem Neopatrimonial Rule Index, and a correlated random-effects specification that separates within-country from between-country variation, we find that neopatrimonialism is positively associated with larger shadow economies in the between-country dimension. The relationship is structural rather than short-run and survives controls for democratic accountability, suggesting that neopatrimonialism is not reducible to regime type or electoral accountability. However, broader institutional-quality controls, especially corruption and bureaucratic/legal quality, substantially attenuate the coefficient, indicating that these institutional features are channels through which neopatrimonial political orders shape informality.</p>\u0000 <p><b>JEL Classifications:</b> D73, O17, O43, P48</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 7","pages":"1145-1162"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149100584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By 2024, more than 63 million conflict-affected internally displaced persons (IDPs) were recorded worldwide, underscoring the need for coordinated and sustained policy responses in conflict-affected states. This study examines the economic consequences of conflict-induced internal displacement and its implications for social welfare across 50 countries and territories over the period 2009–2022. Employing fixed effects, generalized least squares (GLS), generalized estimating equations (GEE) and panel-corrected standard errors (PCSE), the analysis provides robust evidence of adverse macroeconomic and health impacts of conflict-affected internal displacement. The results indicate that a 1% increase in conflict-affected internal displacement is associated with a 0.107% decline in GDP growth, a reduction of USD 7.63 in GDP per capita and an increase of 1.02 infant deaths per 1000 live births. The findings further show that stronger rule of law, greater political stability and higher levels of development assistance are positively associated with improved economic outcomes in conflict-affected regions. These results highlight the relevance of internal displacement for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 3 (Good health and well being), SDG 8 (Economics growth) and SDG 16 (Peace, justice and strong institutions), and emphasize the importance of policies that support economic recovery, strengthen public health systems and enhance institutional capacity in conflict-affected settings.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 7","pages":"1260-1275"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149100185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
