Abstract

The question whether aid-effectiveness is conditional on sound governance is a highly controversial debate with mixed empirical evidence. Using a sample of 80 developing countries that meet the OECD’s criteria for official development assistance over the period 2002 to 2014 we find the effectiveness of development to be unconditional of governance. As the returns to aid are decreasing, this effect is nonlinear.
