Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to asses the impact of agricultural foreign aid on agricultural output in developing countries. In order to examine this effect, we will employ a cross-section time-series econometric model where we employ annual data from 1974 through 2005 for 112 developing countries that are aid recipients.
