Does aid for education educate children? Evidence from panel data
Dreher, Axel; Nunnenkamp, Peter; Thiele, Rainer - 2006
This paper empirically analyzes the impact of aid on education for about 100 countries over the period 1970-2005. We estimate a system of equations to test whether and to what extent the impact of sector-specific aid on educational attainment depends on (i) the extent to which aid adds to...
