CONCLUDING REMARKS""; ""REFERENCES"" 330 3 $aThe First Millennium Development Goal (MDG#1) is to cut the fraction of global population living on less than one dollar per day in half, by 2015. Foreign aid financed investments may contribute to the attainment of this goal. But how much can aid be reasonably expected to accomplish? A widespread calibration approach to answering this question is to employ the so-called development planning technique, which has the Harrod-Domar growth model at its base. Two particularly problematic assumptions in this sort of analysis are the absence of diminishing returns to capital input and an infinite speed of adjustment to steady state after a shock to the economy. We remove both of these assumptions by employing a Solow model as an organizing framework for an otherwise similar analysis. We find that in order to successfully meet the MDG#1 in the context of the currently proposed aid flows, these flows will have to be accompanied by either an acceleration in the underlying productivity growth rate or a major boost to domestic savings and investment in sub-Saharan Africa. In the absence of such changes in the economic environment, the MDG#1 is unlikely to be reached. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/284 606 $aEconomic assistance 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aProduction and Operations Management$2imf 606 $aSocial Services and Welfare$2imf 606 $aPoverty and Homelessness$2imf 606 $aWelfare, Well-Being, and Poverty: General$2imf 606 $aGovernment Policy$2imf 606 $aProvision and Effects of Welfare Program$2imf 606 $aForeign Aid$2imf 606 $aAggregate Factor Income Distribution$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics: Production$2imf 606 $aPoverty & precarity$2imf 606 $aSocial welfare & social services$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aPoverty$2imf 606 $aPoverty reduction$2imf 606 $aAid flows$2imf 606 $aIncome$2imf 606 $aProductivity$2imf 606 $aEconomic assistance$2imf 606 $aIndustrial productivity$2imf 607 $aSouth Africa$2imf 615 0$aEconomic assistance. 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aProduction and Operations Management 615 7$aSocial Services and Welfare 615 7$aPoverty and Homelessness 615 7$aWelfare, Well-Being, and Poverty: General 615 7$aGovernment Policy 615 7$aProvision and Effects of Welfare Program 615 7$aForeign Aid 615 7$aAggregate Factor Income Distribution 615 7$aMacroeconomics: Production 615 7$aPoverty & precarity 615 7$aSocial welfare & social services 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aPoverty 615 7$aPoverty reduction 615 7$aAid flows 615 7$aIncome 615 7$aProductivity 615 7$aEconomic assistance 615 7$aIndustrial productivity 700 $aDalgaard$b Carl-Johan$01546560 701 $aErickson$b Lennart$01546561 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788411903321 996 $aSolow Versus Harrod-Domar$93802255 997 $aUNINA
