As in the original model, linkages between foreign aid, public investment (education, infrastructure, and health) and growth are explicitly captured, but this time in a fixed nominal exchange rate regime. Although the nominal exchange rate is fixed, the relative price of domestic goods is endogenous, thereby allowing for potential Dutch disease effects associated with increases in aid. The impact of policy shocks on poverty is assessed by using partial growth elasticities. A policy experiment of increasing foreign aid illustrates the dynamic trade-offs between growth and poverty reduction in Niger. 2012-03-30T07:30:01Z 2012-03-30T07:30:01Z 2008 Journal Article Journal of Policy Modeling 01618938 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/4845 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article Niger
