Evidencing Donor Heterogeneity in Aid for Trade
This paper is the culmination of a multi-country, multi-method investigation into the export effects of Aid for Trade
(AfT). Building on previous single-donor statistical studies of AfT,
this paper conducts a statistical study of 19 Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD) AfT donors and then examines the
delivery and implementation of AfT in four recipient countries -
Indonesia, the Philippines, Timor-Leste and Vietnam - from four donor
countries - Germany, Japan, Norway and the US. The paper finds
considerable variation in the export effects of the AfT programs,
ranging from programs with no impact on recipient country exports to
programs that are positively correlated with recipient country exports
to the donor country and/or the rest of the world. Taking a closer look
at the AfT programs of Germany, Japan, Norway and the US suggests that
differences in program design and implementation may account for
differences in AfT export effects.AM
