This paper investigates whether aid is more effective if donor and recipient governments share a similar ideology. The authors argue that political proximity has an influence on the effectiveness of aid and come to the conclusion that aid tends to be less effective when political ideology differs between the donor and the recipient. They point out that this adds a new dimension to aid selectivity beyond recipient need and merit.
