摘要：
We explore the implications of allowing a poverty-averse donor to monitor aid use within the familiar context of the needs vs. aid effectiveness tradeoff. The paper focuses on the optimal aid allocation between countries when the donor simultaneously decides about aid shares and country-specific monitoring effort at increasing the amount reaching the poor. Endogenizing aid effectiveness is shown to raise the poor's income in the worse-governed country, yet not necessarily in the better-governed one, whereas the effect on country shares is essentially ambiguous. Those results still hold when the basic model is extended in various directions. Conventional aid allocation rules should be re-examined in their light.
