Abstract:
The existing studies that examined the green aid effectiveness in reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions found mixed results; however, neither of these studies considered the role of aid fragmentation in the effectiveness of green aid flows. By using the dynamic panel generalized method of moments (GMM) methodology to panel data of 92 countries covering the period between 2002 and 2018, this study examines the impact of green aid fragmentation on the effectiveness of green aid flows in reducing CO2 emissions. Using different fragmentation measures, this paper finds that green aid fragmentation is detrimental to the effectiveness of green aid flows in reducing CO2 emissions per capita. The findings also highlight that the damaging impact of green aid fragmentation is lower in countries with stronger institutions. This paper highlights the need for better coordination of the green aid flows by having less fragmented green aid flows.
