Abstract

This article revisits the evidence on the allocation of external public financing to post-MDRI countries while controlling for heterogeneity across recipient economies through quantile regressions. The results show that donors were more selective in terms of institutional quality when allocating aid to countries with the highest income per capita in the sample.
