This article explores whether the World Trade Organization (WTO), through its role of promoting multilateral trade liberalisation and mobilising greater financial resources (i.e., Aid for Trade [AfT] flows) in favour of the trade sector in developing countries, contributes to reducing the size of external economic shocks experienced by these countries. An empirical analysis is carried out using a sample of 111 countries over the period 1996–2016 and relying on the two-step system generalised method of moments (GMM) approach. The findings indicate that taken separately, multilateral trade liberalisation and AfT flows reduce the size of shocks. While the two factors are substitutable in negatively influencing countries’ size of shocks, it also appears that multilateral trade liberalisation always results in smaller shocks, irrespective of the amount of AfT that accrues to countries.

Abstract The few existing studies on the relationship between Aid for Trade (AfT) flows and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows tend to report a positive effect of total AfT flows, in particular of Aid flows for building economic infrastructure, on FDI inflows. The present article aims to complement these works by investigating whether the effect of AfT flows on inward FDI stock depends on recipient-countries' level of export product concentration. The empirical analysis has shown that AfT flows exert a strong positive effect on inward FDI stock in countries that experience a high level of export product concentration. These findings are relevant for developing countries in light of the concentration of their export products on primary commodities, and given the strong role of FDI flows for employment generation, economic growth and development in these countries.

Abstract Many studies have considered the macroeconomic effects of Aid for Trade (AfT) flows, that is, the part of official development assistance allocated for the development of the trade sector. The present paper aims to expand this literature by investigating the effect AfT flows on financial development notably through channel of manufactured exports. The analysis has covered a set of 120 countries over the period 2002–2017, and relied primarily on the two-step system Generalized Methods of Moments (GMM). Results show that total AfT flows, notably its components AfT for economic infrastructure and AfT for productive capacity promote financial development, and the magnitude of these positive effects rises as countries' share of manufactured exports increases. Additionally, total AfT flows influence positively financial development in countries that diversify their export product basket towards manufactured exports. These findings highlight the key role of AfT flows in promoting financial development in recipient-countries, and therefore call on donor-countries to scale up AfT flows in favour of developing countries, given the importance of financial development for economic development.

AbstractWhitehouse adapts insights from evolutionary anthropology to interpret extreme self-sacrifice through the concept of identity fusion. The model neglects the role of normative systems in shaping behaviors, especially in relation to violent extremism. In peaceful groups, increasing fusion will actually decrease extremism. Groups collectively appraise threats and opportunities, actively debate action options, and rarely choose violence toward self or others.

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.
