Pseudo First Stage of System GMM Panel Regressions""; ""REFERENCES"" 330 3 $aThis paper studies how macroeconomic policies can help offset two unintended and undesirable features of foreign aid: its volatility and Dutch disease. We present evidence that aid volatility augments trade balance volatility and that foreign aid, with the important exception of years of adverse shocks, depresses exports. We also find that these effects can be mitigated through changes in net domestic assets of the central bank-a variable that reflects both monetary and fiscal policy. To characterize the optimal policy, we develop a general equilibrium model in which the capital account is closed and aid influences productivity growth through positive (public expenditure) and negative (Dutch disease) externalities. In this setting, macroeconomic policies permanently affect real variables and can improve welfare if donors do not distribute foreign aid optimally over time. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/145 606 $aEconomic assistance$xEconometric models 606 $aEconomic policy$xEconometric models 606 $aBalance of trade$2imf 606 $aBanking$2imf 606 $aBanks and Banking$2imf 606 $aCurrency$2imf 606 $aEmpirical Studies of Trade$2imf 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aExports$2imf 606 $aForeign Aid$2imf 606 $aForeign aid$2imf 606 $aForeign exchange reserves$2imf 606 $aForeign Exchange$2imf 606 $aForeign exchange$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aInternational relief$2imf 606 $aInternational reserves$2imf 606 $aMonetary Policy$2imf 606 $aReal exchange rates$2imf 606 $aTrade balance$2imf 606 $aTrade: General$2imf 607 $aUnited States$2imf 615 0$aEconomic assistance$xEconometric models. 615 0$aEconomic policy$xEconometric models. 615 7$aBalance of trade 615 7$aBanking 615 7$aBanks and Banking 615 7$aCurrency 615 7$aEmpirical Studies of Trade 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aExports 615 7$aForeign Aid 615 7$aForeign aid 615 7$aForeign exchange reserves 615 7$aForeign Exchange 615 7$aForeign exchange 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aInternational relief 615 7$aInternational reserves 615 7$aMonetary Policy 615 7$aReal exchange rates 615 7$aTrade balance 615 7$aTrade: General 700 $aTressel$b Thierry$01621895 701 $aPrati$b Alessandro$0120813 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund.$bResearch Dept. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825684903321 996 $aAid Volatility and Dutch Disease$94058387 997 $aUNINA
