    Well that story was a total waste of time. I was trying to find proof that foreign aid is a good thing, and while this story tells us that, it does not show HOW, all it does is tell us that it works, without anything that shows us where the benefits are. Yes it brings in investments, but ‘where’?

    • A. Lovett says:

      And I suppose it wouldn’t have been in the ANU’s interest to find out that foreign aid is a waste of Australian money as their own funding from the federal govt might suddenly dry up ???

    • Mathew says:

      The paper that the story covers was tasked with discovering whether Australian foreign aid linked with Australian exports over the long-run. It is quite mathematical in nature using mathematical models and test techniques. The study was not looking at where benefits were created to Australia, but rather, whether. The paper mentions that there is little academic study concerning Australian exports and aid of this type, which may talk to why the article was unable to broach your concerns?
