Scenario VIII 330 $aWe develop a simple macroeconomic model that assesses the effects of higher foreign aid on output growth and other macroeconomic variables, including the real exchange rate. The model is easily tractable and requires estimation of only a few basic parameters. It takes into account the impact of aid on physical and human capital accumulation, while recognizing that the impact of the latter is more protracted. Application of the model to Niger-one of the poorest countries in the world-suggests that if foreign aid as a share of GDP were to be permanently increased from the equivalent of 10 percent 410 0$aIMF working paper ;$vWP/09/36. 606 $aEconomic assistance$zNiger 606 $aEconomic development$zNiger 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEconomic assistance 615 0$aEconomic development 700 $aFarah$b Abdikarim$0918642 701 $aSacerdoti$b Emilio$0918643 701 $aSalinas$b Gonzalo$0918644 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464231603321 996 $aThe macroeconomic impact of scaled-up aid$92060015 997 $aUNINA
