Beginning with a review of the general aid allocation literature this paper then focuses upon the European Commission administered aid programmes. Having considered their general trends it turns to a statistical analysis of their possible determinants. It contrasts the outcomes of the EDF, with its close correlation with the UN Human Development Index and 'development orientation', with the non-ACP aid allocations.

Abstract


Beginning with a review of the general aid allocation literature this paper then focuses upon the European Commission administered aid programmes. Having considered their general trends it turns to a statistical analysis of their possible determinants. It contrasts the outcomes of the EDF, with its close correlation with the UN Human Development Index and 'development orientation', with the non-ACP aid allocations.
