    ABSTRACT

  • 8/12/2019 Impact of Foreign Aid in Kenya

    2/35

    Foreign aid represents an important source of finance in most countries in Africa countries, where it

    supplements low savings, narrow export earnings and thin tax bases. In recent years the donor

    community has become more stringent about fiscal discipline and good policies, which has led to

    freezing of donor funds to governments that do not conform with aid conditionalities. The Kenyan

    government has experienced such aid cuts in the past and this paper uses a welfare utility maximization

    function to explore how government expenditure responds to fluctuations in aid flows. The empirical

    results indicate that the flow of foreign aid does influence government spending patterns. There is a

    positive and statistically significant relationship between the share of government expenditure in gross

    domestic product !"#$ and the share of net disbursement of overseas development assistance %"A$.

    The study found out that foreign aid has a positve impact on the growth of the economies when there ae

    sound macroeconomic policies, its absence also creates economic stagnation of most African

    economies.

    Foreign aid is the international transfer of capital, goods, or services from a country or international

    organization for the benefit of the recipient country or its population. Aid can be economic, military, or

    emergency humanitarian e.g., aid given following natural disasters$.

    Foreign aid is an important source of finance to a maority of developing countries since it supports the

    budgetary process and therefore enhances the development of these countries, Atemn-eng . T.

    /001$. The role of foreign aid in the growth process of developing countries has been a topic of intense

    debate. Foreign aid is an important theme given its implications on poverty reduction in developing

    countries. #revious empirical studies on foreign aid and economic growth generate mixed results. For

    example, #apane- 2345$, "owling and 6iemenz 237/$, !upta and Islam 2375$, 6ansen and Tarp

    /000$, 8urnside and "ollar /000$, !omanee, et al. /005$, "algaard et al. /009$, and Karras /001$,

    find evidence for positive impact of foreign aid on growth: 8urnside and "ollar /000$ and 8rautigam

    and Knac- /009$ find evidence for negative impact of foreign aid and growth, while 'osley 2370$,

    'osley, et al. 2374$, 8oone 2331$, and ensen and #aldam /005$ find evidence to suggest that aid

    has no impact on growth. It should be noted that, although 8urnside and "ollar /000$ concluded that

    foreign aid has positive effects, this conclusion applies only to economies in which it is combined with

    good fiscal, monetary, and trade policies, (-anaya-e. (. './007$

    The main role of foreign aid in stimulating economic growth is to supplement domestic sources of

    finance such as savings, thus increasing the amount of investment and capital stoc-. As 'orrissey

    /002$ points out, there are a number of mechanisms through which aid can contribute to economic

    growth, including a$ aid increases investment, in physical and human capital: b$ aid increases the

    capacity to import capital goods or technology: c$ aid does not have indirect effects that reduce

    investment or savings rates: and aid is associated with technology transfer that increases the

    productivity of capital and promotes endogenous technical change.

    According to 'c!illivray, et al. /001$, four main alternative views on the effectiveness of aid have

    been suggested, namely, a$ aid has decreasing returns, b$ aid effectiveness is influenced by external

    and climatic conditions, c$ aid effectiveness is influenced by political conditions, and d$ aid

    effectiveness depends on institutional +uality. It is interesting to note that in recent years there has been

    a significant increase in aid flows to developing countries although other types of flows such as foreign

    direct investment and other private flows are declining. For example, according to the %rganization for

    (conomic &orporation and "evelopment %(&", /003b$, foreign direct investment and other private

    flows are on the decline, and remittances are expected to drop significantly in /003. 8udgets of many

    developing countries were hit hard by the rises in food and oil prices in the last two years. 'any

    #$#$ KENYAS RECORD ON ECONOMIC GROWTH

    Kenya gained independence in 2315 and rapidly became the most economically successful and politically

    stable country in (ast Africa orld 8an-, /005$. 6owever, during the last two decades,

    Kenya;s economic growth performance has been disappointing and as a result poverty has increased.

    There are several reasons for the underperformanceBpoor governance, slow and incomplete economic

    reforms, low investment, poor public services delivery, underinvestment in infrastructure, corruption, and a

    wea- udiciary I'F, /005$. In the past few years, the rising incidence of 6ICDAI"*, the deteriorating

    security situation, and political uncertainty have also detracted from growth.

    #$" E'+-+1' G*+24 #0"000

    8etween 2340 and /000, Kenyan real gross domestic product !"#$ growth was 9.1 percent per year andreal per capita income grew by an average of 2.5 percent annually. 6owever, these numbers mas- the

    uneven pace of economic expansion in Kenya over this period.

    #$3 #07: R&81. E'+-+1' G*+24 1- A99 S'+*7

    The Kenyan economy grew rapidly in the period immediately following independence, and this growth

    persisted into the 2340s, when growth averaged 4.7 percent per year. The agricultural sector grew at

    roughly 1 percent per year, while the industrial and service sectors expanded by an average of 22 and 7

    percent, respectively, each year. As a result, per capita incomes also grew rapidly at an annual rate of 9.5

    percent orld 8an-, /009b$.

    This growth was in large part driven by rapid expansion in the agricultural sector, activist fiscal policies, and

    the import substitution industrialization I*I$ strategy pursued by the !overnment of Kenya !overnment$.

    "uring this period, the !overnment pursued a monetary policy that -ept inflation low and attempted to

    reduce its reliance on foreign aid. Fiscal policy was cautious and serious efforts were made to -eep budget

    deficits at sustainable levels I-iara et al., /009$. The import substitution strategy led to industrial

    diversification and growth by protecting domestic firms against international competition E#(", /009$. The

    6

  • 8/12/2019 Impact of Foreign Aid in Kenya

    7/35

    main instruments used to pursue the import substitution strategy were an overvalued exchange rate, import

    tariffs and +uantitative restrictions, foreign exchange controls, and import licensing I-iara et al., /009$.

    Toward the end of the 2340s, Kenya;s economic performance began to deteriorate as a result of several

    factors. These included the collapse of the (ast African &ommunity in 2344: the erosion of fiscal prudence,

    partly due to the windfall from the boom in coffee prices: the second oil shoc- in 2344: and the anti@export

    bias of the import substitution strategy I-iara et al., /009$. 'ore generally, the inefficiencies resulting from

    the distortions introduced by import substitution policies increasingly outweighed the gains in growth from

    the stimulation of domestic production.

    According to (-anaya-e. (. './007$, the impact of foreign aid has been the subect of very extensive

    investigation. The -ey +uestion that both the donor and the recipient countries +uestion is whether aid

    has any effect on developing countries; growth and their level of poverty. This issue has beenapproached from various perspectives: nevertheless, a single and definite answer still does not exist.

    Therefore, it is important to note that not only factors such as the amount and type of financial aid

    impact the effectiveness of available funds but also the appropriate use of these funds by the receiving

    country plays a vital role.

    #$; RESEARCH ISSUE

    According to eru, /005$,Kenya, li-e other developing countries, faces huge external debts and is

    crying out for debt relief. 'ost countries argue that given their current poverty levels, the repayment and

    servicing costs of external debts are too high and unmanageable. These claims have led to the

    reconsideration of issues related to the effectiveness of aid in developing countries. (arlier the aid@

    savings debate focused on the two@gap model developed by &henery and *trout 2311$ that set foreign

    aid as an engine of growth. &ritics of this model have argued that foreign aid substitutes domestic

    resources through declined savings, reduced government tax revenue and increased governmentconsumption. ith the renewal of the debate, the +uestion remains as to whether external assistance

    complements or substitutes available domestic resources. In Kenya, the answer to this +uestion is

    complicated by the fact that aid flow has not been consistent. !iven Kenya;s high dependence on

    foreign aid, coupled with maor aid freeze episodes, there is need to analyse the impact of aid flows on

    the budget process by establishing the lin- between aid and public expenditure. A stronger association

    of aid with higher government consumption rather than with public investment would suggest both a

    Gflypaper effectH and fungibility. This may imply that aid recipient governments view foreign aid li-e anyother source of revenue and conse+uently use it for increased consumption, tax reductions or reduced

    fiscal deficits future tax obligations. A -ey discussion would be what proportion of increased spending

    resulting from increased donor funds goes to either recurrent or development expenditures. The answer

    can shed some light on the implications of an aid freeze to recipient countries, and highlight how the

    Kenyan government responds to resultant budgetary deficits.This study will focus on the impact of

    foreign aid on government public spending in Kenya.

    "$0 LITERATURE REVIEW

    "$# THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

    There has been concern over the role of and effectiveness of forein aid flow in promoting growth and

    development in developing countries. !iven that, most of the foreign aid to Kenya is channeled through public

    sector, its not possible therefore to analyse the effectiveness of these flows in Kenya without studying the impact

    of such flows on public spending)agat, 2339$

    The development theory upon which the issue of forein aid drwas its existence dates bac- to the 2350s 'arshall

    plan and the emergency of growth models in the late 2390s. Adam *mith and "avid Eicardo advocated for

    specialization of labor, foreign trade, capital accummulation and increased productivity as being the fundamental

    determinants of growth*chumpeter, 2393$.

    This analytical paper borrows heavily from 6arod "omar model which extended the Keynesian emphasis on

    investment to include capacity increasing effects, the sencond was the emphasis by economists on physical

    capital and the view that shortages of capital largely account for the poverty of the developing countries. The role

    of and impact of foreign aid followed logically from this analysis)agat 2339$

    6eller234?$ developed across@sectional times series mode to analyse the behavior of the public sector in all

    African countries to foreign flow. *pecifically hewas concerned whether foreign capital inflow has resulted in

    increased public or private consumption or increased investment re+uired to boost the economy.

    The model focuses on the interractions among several categories of public expenditure and the relationship

    between domestic and foreign revenues. It further distinguishes alternative types of aid and their sources.

    6eller assumed that decision ma-ers maximise their utility subect to some constraints li-e alternative use of

    public resources, distribution of output between private and public alternative modes of domestic financing and

    alternative types of external assistance such as grants and loans.

    The relationship between foreign aid and economic growth has drawn great attention for years, but the

    empirical results are mixed. There is now a large literature on the relationship between aid and growth.

    A study conducted by 'c!illivray /00?$ demonstrates how aid to African countries not only increases

    growth but also reduces poverty. Furthermore, the author points out the important fact that continuously

    growing poverty, mainly in sub@*aharan African countries, compromises the '"!s 'illennium

    focuses on the interaction between aid and debt. The author determined three main outcomes of his

    study. First, that a large portion of aid flows, approximately 92

    using annual data from the 2310 to 2334 for a sample of 42 aid@receiving developing countries. This

    paper concludes that the effect of foreign aid on economic growth is positive, permanent, and

    statistically significant. 'ore specifically, a permanent increase in foreign aid by >/0 per person results

    in a permanent increase in the growth rate of real !"# per capita by 0.21 percent. These results are

    obtained without considering the effects of policies. !omanee, !irma, and 'orrissay /00?$ address

    directly the mechanisms via which aid impacts growth. =sing a sample of /? *ub@*aharan African

    countries over the period 2340 to

    ournal of International 8usiness and &ultural *tudies 2334, the authors determined that foreign aid has

    a significant positive effect on economic growth. Furthermore, they identified investment as the most

    significant transmission mechanism.

    In his research, Eam /009$ loo-s at the issue of poverty and economic growth from the view of

    recipient country;s policies as being the -ey role in the effectiveness of foreign aid. evertheless, in his

    paper the author disagrees with the widely@ac-nowledged view that redirecting aid toward countries with

    better policies leads to higher economic growth and poverty reduction rates. As a result, based on his

    research the author concludes that evidence is lac-ing to support the leading belief that directing foreign

    assistance to countries with good Jpolicy; will increase the impact on growth or poverty reduction in

    developing countries

    eru, /005$ did a study on the fiscal response by the government to changes in aid flow. 6e

    recommended further research on the brea-down of the sources of revenue and expenditure use by the

    public sector at sectoral levelBe.g., transport and communications networ-s, education, health,

    agriculture, defence, etc.Bwould shed more light on the understanding of how policy ma-ers in the aid

    recipient country ma-e their public sector decisions.

    'wau2379$ attempted to analyse the impact of foreign aid inflows on the Kenya economy. 6e

    examined the effects of foreign capital inflow on investment, foreign trade and hence the balance of

    payment, money supply and economic growth in Kenya. 6e used %)* method of estimation. 6e found

    out that, foreign capital inflow have some stimulatory effects on domestic investment, with small effects

    on economic growth.

    )agat2339$ did a study on foreign aid impact on public expenditure and its fungability in Kenya for a

    period between 2349@233/. 6e sought to analyse whether foreign aid assistance provides for

    development expenditure is fungible, whether it reduces tax efforts tothe government and the impact of

    total foreign aid and the macroeconomic reforms of public expenditure.

    "$" ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK/MODEL

    This section discusses the methodology used for analysing the government;s response to aid flow

    fluctuations resulting from aid freezes. The approach used to determine the effects of foreign aid on

    government expenditure follows 6eller;s 234?$ utility model, which assumes that the recipient country

    intends to maximize the social welfare of its own citizens in the face of budgetary constraints and uses

    aid flows from overseas as an instrument in pursuit of the obective. Cariants of this model include

    'c!uire 2347$: #ac- and #ac- 2330, 2335$: and Feyzioglu et al. 2337$. Assume that the

    government;s obective is to maximize the welfare utility function subect to the prevailing budget

    constraint. To achieve the obective, policy ma-ers formulate targeted levels of expenditure based on

    proected economic growth and social development obectives. For simplicity, assume that the

    government purchases some minimum +uantities of two types of public goodsBnon@

    developmentrecurrent$ !E$ and development !d$Bfor its citizens. *upposing the welfare utility

    function is multiplicative and is specified as

    )et;s first discuss the estimated results that are presented in Table /. The conventional variables

    behave very much the same way as the model predicts, and the estimated coefficients are statistically

    significant. The R2values range from a low of 0.//9 to a high of 0.439.

    These values, though relatively low, are acceptable for a panel series data for study and are

    comparable to those obtained in other studies. The coefficients of the first two variables in model iii$ are

    expected to be positive and the results are consistent.

    Foreign aid variable has a positive sign in all the cases, indicating that foreign aid appears to have an a

    positive effect on government spending in Kenya. This coefficient is statistically significant for all cases

    at 3?< confidence level. The s+uare term is also found to be statistically significant.

    "$; CONCLUSIONS AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS

    This paper analyzes the effects of foreign aid on the government public spending in Kenya. These

    effects are analyzed using panel data series for foreign aidgrants$, government revenue and

    expenditure. %ne of the contributions of this paper is its input to the existing empirical literature on the

    effects of foreign aid on economic growth of developing countries sampling out Kenya as a case study.

    The maor point emerging from this wor- is that foreign aid has a positive impact on economic growth of

    developing countries Kenya included. The variables are positive indicating that foreign aid has a positive

    effect on public spending. Aid supplements government revenue and thus included in the budgetary

    process. This is not surprising given that Africa is the largest recipient of foreign aid than any other

    region. Thus, the findings of this study are, for the most part, consistent with findings of previous studies

    on the impact of foreign aid on public government spending.
