摘要
外国援助是否总能促进受援国的经济发展？这个问题一直没有得到充分解决。本文利用 2000 年至 2019 年美国对全球 128 个国家的援助数据，研究了美国援助与受援国经济增长之间的关系，以及制度质量和吸收能力在形成这种关系中的调节作用。本文考虑了不同类型的美国援助，包括经济援助和军事援助。结果显示，经济援助与经济增长之间的关系呈 U 型，而军事援助与经济增长之间呈正线性关系。此外，我们还发现，受援国的制度质量对美国援助与经济增长之间的关系具有负向调节作用。此外，受援国的吸收能力对经济援助与经济增长之间的关系有正向调节作用，而军事援助与经济增长之间的关系不受吸收能力的影响。
Does foreign aid play a role in promoting economic development? Evidence from US aid
Does foreign aid always contribute to economic development in recipient countries? This question has never been fully addressed. Using data on US aid to 128 countries worldwide from 2000 to 2019, this paper examines the relationship between US aid and economic growth in recipient countries, and the moderating role of institutional quality and absorptive capacity in shaping this relationship. Different types of US aid are considered, including economic aid and military aid. The results show that the relationship between economic aid and economic growth is U-shaped, while military aid has a positive linear relationship with economic growth. Moreover, we find that the institutional quality of the recipient country negatively moderates the relationship between US aid and economic growth. Additionally, the absorptive capacity of the recipient country positively moderates the relationship between economic aid and economic growth, whereas the relationship between military aid and economic growth is not affected by absorptive capacity.
期刊介绍：
Applied Geography is a journal devoted to the publication of research which utilizes geographic approaches (human, physical, nature-society and GIScience) to resolve human problems that have a spatial dimension. These problems may be related to the assessment, management and allocation of the world physical and/or human resources. The underlying rationale of the journal is that only through a clear understanding of the relevant societal, physical, and coupled natural-humans systems can we resolve such problems. Papers are invited on any theme involving the application of geographical theory and methodology in the resolution of human problems.
