description In this paper, international aid is examined as a tool for political agenda-setting. A theoretical model is constructed for the analysis, incorporating the incentives created by foreign aid, on the political benefits of recipient governments. The model also incorporates the compensating benefits provided by these governments through the legitimization of the donor country's political agenda. The main results of this model indicate that governments which offer international assistance can in inffluence the political agenda of recipient countries through two channels: 1) By reducing the political costs of official intervention in issues that receive aid, and 2) By generating incentives for additional political rent-seeking. The results are studied in the case of aid provided by the USA to Colombia during the period 1998-2012, which shows the power of US presidents to establish part of the Colombian political agenda related to drugs and terrorism. The results are obtained through a novel content analysis of presidential speeches in both countries and from a set of estimates corrected by possible problems of endogeneity in foreign aid allocation.

Para el análisis, se construye un modelo teórico que incorpora los incentivos que genera la ayuda exterior sobre los beneficios políticos de los gobiernos receptores de la misma; así como también, la contraprestación de éstos gobiernos a través de la legitimación de la agenda política de los países donantes. Los principales resultados del modelo señalan que gobiernos que ofrecen asistencia internacional pueden influenciar la agenda política de los gobiernos receptores, a través de dos canales: 1) La reducción de los costos políticos de la intervención oficial sobre los temas financiados y 2) La generación de incentivos para buscar rentas políticas adicionales. Dichos resultados se estudian para el caso de la ayuda brindada por EE.UU a Colombia durante el periodo 1998-2012, donde se evidencia el poder que tuvieron los presidentes norteamericanos para establecer parte de la agenda política colombiana en lo relacionado con las drogas y el terrorismo. Los resultados se obtienen a partir de un análisis de contenido original de los discursos presidenciales de ambos países y un conjunto de estimaciones corregidas por los posibles problemas de endogeneidad en la asignación de la ayuda exterior.66 páginasapplication/pdfengUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEDocumentos CEDE No. 15 Abril de 2014https://ideas.repec.org/p/col/000089/011011.htmlMore than words and good intentions : the political agenda-setting power behind foreign aid mechanismsMás que palabras y buenas intenciones : el poder de establecimiento de agenda política detrás de los mecanismos de ayuda exteriorDocumento de trabajoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttps://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/WPAgenda-SettingForeign aidContent analysisInternational- PoliticsAsistencia económica internacional - Investigaciones - ColombiaPolítica pública - Investigaciones - ColombiaPolítica internacional - Investigaciones - ColombiaF35, F54, F59Facultad de EconomíaPublicationTEXTdcede2014-15.pdf.txtdcede2014-15.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain223338https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/beb31425-a23c-478a-918e-e0fe0146a8c7/downloadad091f4b987fab6667a35075d72b6d60MD54THUMBNAILdcede2014-15.pdf.jpgdcede2014-15.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg32999https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/87930b4e-6e1e-455f-b5da-b6d6938fa5a6/download07a2821fb15c8500e8031e866da948f6MD55ORIGINALdcede2014-15.pdfdcede2014-15.pdfapplication/pdf6240022https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/793d1113-ce52-4da3-bb6a-14314870ed60/downloadd75f797e3145779cf8a5257556ffd6baMD511992/8487oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/84872024-06-04 15:25:25.506http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co
