英文文献摘要:
This policy chapter summarises an evolving debate on the effect of foreign aid on corruption and institutions. It entails a series of publications that have been successively motivated by feedbacks from academic and policy making circles. The plethora of papers explores debates sustaining the direct, conditional and indirect effects of foreign aid on institutions. Moreover, another debate on the incidence of foreign aid distortions on corruption is also assessed in light of a recently celebrated literature on development assistance. Overall, the findings show that the effects of foreign aid on corruption and institutions are: directly positive; conditionally positive with a magnitude dependent on initial institutional capacity levels; contingent on fundamental characteristics of development due to heterogeneity and; indirectly positive or negative depending on the transmission mechanism. While the impact of foreign aid uncertainty on corruption is also positive, the sign on governance could change in light of governments’ commitment to increase its dependence on local tax revenues.
这一政策章节总结了一场关于对外援助对腐败和制度影响的辩论。它需要一系列的出版物,这些出版物是在学术和政策制定者的反馈的推动下相继出版的。大量的论文探讨了有关外国援助对机构的直接、有条件和间接影响的争论。此外,关于外援对腐败的扭曲现象的另一场辩论也根据最近一篇关于发展援助的著名文献进行了评估。总体而言,研究结果表明,对外援助对腐败和制度的影响为:直接正效应;有条件的积极,其程度取决于最初的机构能力水平;取决于发展的基本特征,由于异质性和;间接的正面或负面取决于传递机制。虽然外国援助的不确定性对腐败的影响也是积极的,但随着政府承诺增加对地方税收的依赖,治理的迹象可能会发生变化。
