This note, summarizing recent research
by Paul Collier and Anke Hoeffler, presents a theoretical
and empirical analysis of the effects of economic policy and
aid on the risks of conflict. It finds that aid and policy
do not have direct effects on conflict risk. However, both
directly affect growth and dependence on primary commodity
exports, and these in turn affect conflict risk. Simulating
the effect of a package of policy reform and increased aid
on the average aid recipient country, it finds that if
sustained for five years the risk of conflict is reduced by
nearly 30%. |
