Scenario VII; 7. Scenario VIIIWe develop a simple macroeconomic model that assesses the effects of higher foreign aid on output growth and other macroeconomic variables, including the real exchange rate. The model is easily tractable and requires estimation of only a few basic parameters. It takes into account the impact of aid on physical and human capital accumulation, while recognizing that the impact of the latter is more protracted. Application of the model to Niger-one of the poorest countries in the world-suggests that if foreign aid as a share of GDP were to be permanently increased from the equivalent of 10 percentIMF working paper ;WP/09/36.Economic assistanceNigerEconomic developmentNigerElectronic books.Economic assistanceEconomic developmentFarah Abdikarim918642Sacerdoti Emilio918643Salinas Gonzalo918644International Monetary Fund.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464231603321The macroeconomic impact of scaled-up aid2060015UNINA
