The geopolitics of aid

Currently working on the geopolitical determinants of aid allocation, I have been exploring the dyadic data on aid and political alliances the last few days - the plot I uploaded shows nothing new, but I still thought it might be entertaining to share this with you (I surely enjoyed this). So, what was the point of development aid again? Promotion of economic development and welfare? I wonder if bombs count as development assistance?


And yes, these are only correlations, but I don't think I need an IV for a causal interpretation......
