Aid From the World Bank Caroline Williams

Research Question  What is the effect of a country’s involvement in international organizations (IOs) on the aid it receives from the World Bank?

Hypothesis  More IOs = More Aid

World Bank Aid vs. Involvement in IOs World Bank Aid Involvement in IOs

Argument  Barnett and Abbott- IOs facilitate agreements  Williams- World Bank looks at credible commitment status  World Bank- says IOs are something they look at (how much?)

Baseline Specification 1  UN Security Council Preference  World Bank shown to be focusing aid  Main World Bank Powers have control

Baseline Specification 2  IOs  democratization  willingness to reform  IOs help regulate economic activity  Most similar to my hypothesis

Methodology World Bank Aid Data + Involvement in IOs

Results: Control Variables  foreign reserves  temporary member on the UNSC Security Council  population  IMF loan  GDP per capita

Results  1 st : no control  all positive correlation  2 nd : all control  economic IOs significant  3 rd : all significant control  economic IOs significant

Conclusions and Implications  Did not get expected results (Baseline Specification 1)  Only economic IOs significant  All countries  Daniela Donno- conditional

Future Work  Specific Regions  Specific International Organizations  Qualitative Data  Case Studies

Take Aways  My hypothesis: More IOs= More Aid  Results: Positive Correlation without the control variables  But only economic IOs show overall significance to be  Future work could make the project more specific
