Abstract

Abstract The main goal of foreign aid should be the support of developing regions; however, due to the rising international requirements on the amount of provided aid, donors start to focus on the benefits aid can bring them as well. Both country-specific and general studies have been conducted to evaluate the return of aid from the donor’s perspective, with the majority of them suggesting that provided aid boosts donor’s exports to the developing countries. As no such analysis exists for the Czech Republic, this paper tries to fill this gap and aims to find out whether there is a positive relationship between the Czech aid and Czech exports. While employing the gravity model of international trade, the study, however, suggests that the Czech aid is not statistically significant for the volume of Czech exports. Unlike other donors, the Czech Republic thus leaves a considerable trade potential arising from the foreign aid untapped. The reasons might be other motives behind the Czech aid (both official and unofficial), poor co-operation of aid and trade policies, or changes in trade patterns.

发展援助对捐助国出口的影响:以捷克共和国为例
对外援助的主要目标应该是支持发展中地区;然而,由于国际社会对援助金额的要求不断提高,捐助者也开始关注援助能给他们带来的好处。已经进行了针对具体国家和一般性研究,以从捐助者的角度评估援助的回报,其中大多数研究表明,所提供的援助促进了捐助者对发展中国家的出口。由于对捷克共和国没有这样的分析,本文试图填补这一空白,并旨在找出捷克援助与捷克出口之间是否存在积极关系。然而,尽管采用了国际贸易的引力模型,该研究表明,捷克的援助对捷克的出口量在统计上并不重要。因此,与其他捐助者不同,捷克共和国在对外援助方面有相当大的贸易潜力尚未开发。原因可能是捷克援助背后的其他动机(官方和非官方)、援助和贸易政策合作不力或贸易模式的变化。
