The notion that aid in this sense may be "fungible," while long recognized, has recently been receiving some empirical support. The paper "What Does Aid to Africa Finance?" focuses on Sub-Saharan Africa—the region with the largest GDP share of aid—and presents results that indicate that aid may be partially fungible, and suggests some reasons why. This database contains data used for the analysis. Africa The database includes data from Botswana, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ethiopia, The Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Nigeria, Sudan, Swaziland, Zaire, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Aggregate data [agg] The dataset includes the following: - Population - Infant mortality - Primary and secondary school enrollment - GDP per capita - Concessionary loans - Government expenditure Other [oth] Use of the dataset must be acknowledged using a citation which would include: - the Identification of the Primary Investigator - the title of the survey (including acronym and year of implementation) - the survey reference number - the source and date of download Example: Shantayanan Devarajan et al., World Bank.What Does Aid to Africa Finance?
