Foreign Aid's Impact On Economic Growth: Conditional On Accountable Institutions?, Anna Monique Castrillo Jan 2011

Foreign Aid's Impact On Economic Growth: Conditional On Accountable Institutions?, Anna Monique Castrillo

LSU Master's Theses

This paper studies the impact of foreign aid on economic growth in Latin America and the Caribbean and determines whether this relationship is conditional on institutional quality, utilizing an index of accountability. I examine whether or not accountability structures rather than fiscal policies as used in Craig Burnside and David Dollar's 2000 article “Aid, Policies, and Growth” are a better determinant for overall economic growth. Using a database spanning 1996 to 2008, this paper examines the relationship between foreign aid and economic growth in 19 Latin American and Caribbean countries and seeks a clear definition of institutional quality. The findings …

Digital Television Broadcast Adoption In Latin America, Deb Tech, Jack Walters

Research & Publications

This paper proposes a model of the decision factors used by countries to decide which digital television (DTV) broadcast standard to adopt.

The Cara Network: Building Latin American Capacity In Hydrogeology And Water Resource Management, David N. Bethune, M.Cathryn Ryan Sep 2010

The Cara Network: Building Latin American Capacity In Hydrogeology And Water Resource Management, David N. Bethune, M.Cathryn Ryan

Journal of Contemporary Water Research and Education

Ground water supplies the vast majority of water supply in Central America yet, prior to the last 15 years, there have been only a handful of appropriately educated hydrogeologists in the region. The CARA Network (http://www.caragua.org) began in 1999 with the intention of building capacity in hydrogeology and water resource management in Central America. Capacity is built at national (public) universities through applied two-year M.Sc. programs with related teaching and research. Each university is strengthened through the creation of new faculty positions, faculty training, the procurement of equipment/books/software, and the dedication of infrastructure. To date, the CARA M.Sc. programs have …
