Is Aid the Capital Component Making Countries Efficient? A Non-Parametric Production Theory Approach

Cross country regressions on aid effectiveness have failed to providesubstantial evidence on the effects of foreign aid. This study focuseson country performance in a production theory context. By meansof the non-parametric DEA method, we study 60 individual low andmiddle income countries over a six...
