Implication

Dynamic time-series analysis reveals minimal impact of foreign aid on economic growth in Bangladesh, highlighting the greater importance of capital accumulation and foreign direct investment.

Key Points

To re-evaluate the impact of official development assistance on economic growth in Bangladesh and identify primary macroeconomic drivers of national output.
Analyzed national economic time-series data from Bangladesh spanning 1993 to 2022.
Applied dynamic autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) simulations, Kernel Regularized Least Squares (KRLS), and Impulse Response Function (IRF) analysis.
Official development assistance exhibits minimal direct influence on economic progress, and aid shocks demonstrate negligible effects on output.
National economic growth is primarily driven by domestic capital accumulation and foreign direct investment (FDI).
