Development economics

the transfer of grants, concessional loans, goods, or technical assistance from donors to recipient countries for development or relief.

In development economics, aid (foreign or development aid) is the transfer of resources (grants, concessional loans, goods, or technical assistance) from donor governments and agencies to recipient countries to support development or relief. Riddell's Does Foreign Aid Really Work? reviews the forms such aid takes and the contested evidence on whether it raises growth and welfare. The referent is an inter-societal resource transfer, measured in disbursed volumes and assessed by its effect on recipient outcomes, and it is a wholly different construct from weighting a piton or bandaging a wound.[1]
