Does Conditionality Work? A Test for an Innovative US Aid Scheme
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate whether ex post rewards are effective in inducing reforms and find evidence of strong anticipation effects immediately after the announcement of the MCC, while increasing uncertainty about the timing and amount of MCC aid appear to weaken the incentive to fight corruption over time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Peter Nunnenkamp,Hannes Öhler +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that ODA has prevented new infections to an extent that would have reduced the number of people living with HIV, but US assistance programs appear to be more effective than the activities of multilateral organizations.
Journal ArticleDOI
