The Impact of Overseas Aid on Poverty Reduction: An Analysis

This paper by Paul Mosley from the University of Sheffield explores whether overseas aid can effectively reduce poverty. It reviews existing literature on aid effectiveness, noting that while initial optimistic views in the 1970s reflected potential benefits, subsequent econometric studies in the 1980s and 1990s revealed no significant overall impact of overseas aid on economic growth. The research aims to identify specific factors or "levers" that could enhance the effectiveness of aid in achieving its intended goals of poverty alleviation.

    1. Can overseas aid reduce poverty? Paul Mosley, University of Sheffield
