Description
This fascinating study on international development aid addresses a central, yet too often neglected question: what does account for the variation in commitments to economic aid across the OECD donors? Building on a theoretical framework derived from «bounded rationality», Louis M. Imbeau elaborates a number of competing explanations and proceeds to test them on data collected for 17 OECD donors over the period 1966-1981. In so doing, this book makes a significant contribution to an interesting body of literature.
