Posted: 1/13/2023 (CSDE Research)
CSDE Affiliate Isabelle Cohen article, “Crowd in or crowd out? The subnational fiscal response to aid,” was published in World Development this month. Isabelle examines how International Development Association (IDA) aid funding affects downstream government expenditures, using Uganda as a case study. Using unique data on subnational government expenditures and resource allocation, she finds IDA aid funding fosters greater government spending in recipient local districts. It is an important study conceptually and empirically.
