Scenario VIII 330 3 $aWe develop a simple macroeconomic model that assesses the effects of higher foreign aid on output growth and other macroeconomic variables, including the real exchange rate. The model is easily tractable and requires estimation of only a few basic parameters. It takes into account the impact of aid on physical and human capital accumulation, while recognizing that the impact of the latter is more protracted. Application of the model to Niger-one of the poorest countries in the world-suggests that if foreign aid as a share of GDP were to be permanently increased from the equivalent of 10 percent of GDP in 2007 to 15 percent in 2008, annual economic growth would accelerate by more than 1 percentage point, without generating significant risks for macroeconomic stability. As a result, by 2020 Niger's income per capita would be 12.5 percent higher than it would be without increased foreign aid. Moreover, the higher growth would help Niger to cut the incidence of poverty by 25 percent by 2015, although the country will still be unable to reach the Millennium Development Goal of poverty reduction (MDG 1). 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2009/036 606 $aEconomic assistance$zNiger 606 $aEconomic development$zNiger 606 $aAggregate Productivity$2imf 606 $aAid flows$2imf 606 $aCapacity$2imf 606 $aCapital$2imf 606 $aCross-Country Output Convergence$2imf 606 $aCurrency$2imf 606 $aEconomic assistance$2imf 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aForecasting and Simulation: Models and Applications$2imf 606 $aForeign Aid$2imf 606 $aForeign aid$2imf 606 $aForeign Exchange$2imf 606 $aForeign exchange$2imf 606 $aHuman Capital$2imf 606 $aHuman capital$2imf 606 $aIncome economics$2imf 606 $aIntangible Capital$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aInternational relief$2imf 606 $aInvestment$2imf 606 $aInvestments: General$2imf 606 $aLabor Productivity$2imf 606 $aLabor$2imf 606 $aLabour$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomic Analyses of Economic Development$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics: Production$2imf 606 $aMeasurement of Economic Growth$2imf 606 $aNational accounts$2imf 606 $aOccupational Choice$2imf 606 $aPrivate investment$2imf 606 $aReal exchange rates$2imf 606 $aSaving and investment$2imf 606 $aSkills$2imf 607 $aNiger$2imf 615 0$aEconomic assistance 615 0$aEconomic development 615 7$aAggregate Productivity 615 7$aAid flows 615 7$aCapacity 615 7$aCapital 615 7$aCross-Country Output Convergence 615 7$aCurrency 615 7$aEconomic assistance 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aForecasting and Simulation: Models and Applications 615 7$aForeign Aid 615 7$aForeign aid 615 7$aForeign Exchange 615 7$aForeign exchange 615 7$aHuman Capital 615 7$aHuman capital 615 7$aIncome economics 615 7$aIntangible Capital 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aInternational relief 615 7$aInvestment 615 7$aInvestments: General 615 7$aLabor Productivity 615 7$aLabor 615 7$aLabour 615 7$aMacroeconomic Analyses of Economic Development 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aMacroeconomics: Production 615 7$aMeasurement of Economic Growth 615 7$aNational accounts 615 7$aOccupational Choice 615 7$aPrivate investment 615 7$aReal exchange rates 615 7$aSaving and investment 615 7$aSkills 676 $a338.91;338.916 700 $aSacerdoti$b Emilio$01816374 701 $aFarah$b Abdikarim$01816375 701 $aSalinas$b Gonzalo$01816054 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960891603321 996 $aThe Macroeconomic Impact of Scaled-Up Aid$94372408 997 $aUNINA
