Abstract

The paper firstly presents Bulgarian participation in development cooperation to disclose the motivation for studying the relation between aid and trade. The main section summarizes some insights from economic theory literature on the rationale and the potential economic gains of development assistance donors as well as the findings of a number of studies analyzing the existence, direction and strength of the correlation between the dynamics and volume of development aid and international trade flows. The last section outlines the author’s intentions for a future own study on this correlation.
