Abstract
Development scholars are currently debating whether or not the trillions of dollars given as foreign aid to developing countries have done any good. Some donors have heeded the contested advice from some scholars to reduce the amounts of aid they give to poorly governed countries. Now, many development advocates have begun challenging the quality of governance in donor agencies themselves. One of the biggest complaints is that donors are not transparent enough about their activities. My research seeks to measure the effects of donor transparency on recipient countries.
