Abstract

We examine whether food aid acts as a disincentive to agricultural production in recipient economies. Since structural deficiencies of markets are a central reason why low-income agrarian economies receive food aid, we adopt a modeling framework that accommodates market imperfections. Our nonseparable representative household model highlights the factor market effects of food aid overlooked in conventional, Schultzian analyses.
