Americans on Foreign Aid and World Hunger
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In 1995 PIPA found that, while an overwhelming majority supported aid in principle, a majority wanted to cut it. However when asked to estimate how much of the budget was devoted to foreign aid, respondents vastly overestimated its size, and when asked what would be appropriate they proposed an amount far higher than the actual amount. In this new study PIPA sought to find out how perceptions and attitudes about aid have evolved in the interim.

Bilateral foreign aid: How important is aid effectiveness to people for choosing countries to support?
We conduct a discrete choice experiment (DCE) to determine how important aid effectiveness is to people relative to other criteria for choosing countries to support with bilateral foreign aid.

متن کاملReforming Food Aid: Time to Grasp the Nettle?
The international arrangements to underpin food security are in disarray. This matters because tackling hunger is central to the achievement of the international development targets for reducing poverty: the poorest 1.5 billion people in the world, living on less than $US 1 per day, typically spend 80% of their income on food (ODI Briefing Paper 1997(1)). Access to adequate food is a fundamenta...
متن کاملRace, Paternalism, and Foreign Aid: Evidence from U.S. Public Opinion
Virtually all previous studies of domestic economic redistribution find white Americans to be less enthusiastic about welfare for black recipients than for white recipients. When it comes to foreign aid and international redistribution across racial lines, I argue that prejudice manifests not in an uncharitable, resentful way but in a paternalistic way because intergroup contact is minimal and ...
