英文文献摘要：
This paper assesses the aid-development nexus in 52 African countries using updated data (1996-2010) and a new indicator of human development (adjusted for inequality). The effects of Total Net Official Development Assistance (NODA), NODA from the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) and NODA from Multilateral donors on economic prosperity (at national and per capita levels) are also examined. The findings broadly indicate that development assistance is detrimental to GDP growth, GDP per capita growth and inequality adjusted human development. The magnitude of negativity (which is consistent across specifications and development dynamics) is highest for NODA from Multilateral donors, followed by NODA from DAC countries. Given concerns on the achievement of the MDGs, the relevance of these results point to the deficiency of foreign aid as a sustainable cure to poverty in Africa. Though the stated intents or purposes of aid are socio-economic, the actual impact from the findings negates this. It is a momentous epoque to solve the second tragedy of foreign aid; it is high time economists and policy makers start rethinking the models and theories on which foreign aid is based. In the meantime, it is up to people who care about the poor to hold aid agencies accountable for piecemeal results. Policy implications and caveats are discussed.
本文利用更新后的数据(1996-2010年)和人类发展的新指标(经不平等调整)评估了52个非洲国家的援助-发展关系。还审查了官方发展援助净额总额、发展援助委员会的援助净额和多边捐助者的援助净额对经济繁荣(在国家和人均水平)的影响。研究结果大致表明，发展援助不利于GDP增长、人均GDP增长和不平等调整人类发展。多边捐助者对野田的负面评价(规格和发展动态一致)最高，其次是DAC国家的负面评价。考虑到人们对实现千年发展目标的关注，这些结果的相关性表明，作为可持续解决非洲贫困问题的外援不足。虽然声明的援助意图或目的是社会经济的，但调查结果的实际影响否定了这一点。解决对外援助的第二个悲剧是一个重要的时代;现在是经济学家和政策制定者重新思考对外援助所基于的模型和理论的时候了。与此同时，应该由关心穷人的人来督促援助机构为零碎的成果负责。讨论了政策含义和注意事项。
