摘要
国际援助既是外交行为,也是经济行为。在外交和政治目标之外,援助对一国经济增长的影响也是研究者关注的核心问题。学术界和政界曾一度迷信对外援助给经济增长所带来的直接正面影响。然而,现实中巨额的外援并未给第三世界受援对象带来期待中的可喜变化,学界开始反思,有一种倾向认为援助不仅未能给经济带来正向影响,反而有损经济增长。然而,这类结论有矫枉过正之嫌,此后越来越多的研究集中于考察援助未能有效促进增长的内外因素。这些探讨都试图找到对外援助与经济增长之间的普遍性联系,消弭了援助本身和受援对象的特殊性;在研讨援助与经济增长的关系时,都倾向于从受援对象方面来寻找原因和证据;现有的研究建立在传统援助的数据基础之上,忽视了来自发展中的新兴援助者的援助实践,而新兴援助者正给援助与经济增长提供越来越多正相关数据,有望推进该领域的进一步研究。
International aid is both a diplomatic behavior and economic behavior. Besides the diplomatic and po-litical objectives, the researchers also focus on the impact of aid on a country’s economic growth. Scholars and politi-cians had a blind faith in the positive impact of foreign aid on economic growth. However, the huge foreign aid did not bring any great changes to the recipients from the third word. So scholars began to believe that foreign aid can not bring a positive impact to the economy; instead, it is detrimental to economic growth. However, more and more re-search focused on the internal and external factors of why foreign aid had failed to promote effectively the economic growth. All the researches above explore the universal link between foreign aid and economic growth and neglect the particularity of aid itself and the recipient objects. Studying the relationship between aid and economic growth, schol-ars tend to find the reason and evidence from the recipient. The existing researches are based on the data of traditional aid and ignore the practical assistance from the emerging donors. In fact, emerging donors are creating more and more new research data for the researches of the relationship between aid and economic growth.
