英文文献摘要:
The African Development Bank allocates itsconcessional resources through a procedurewhich is mainly based on the quality of thebeneficiary countries’ economic policy andgovernance. This allocation procedure reliesmainly on the Performance-Based Allocationformula which can be criticized on two grounds.Firstly, the weight on economic policy andgovernance is viewed as being excessive.Secondly, it lacks transparency and consistency.We consider how to amend that formula soas to take into account certain common characteristicsof many African countries. The mainproposal is to augment the formula by an economicvulnerability criterion. The numericalsimulations show that the introduction of theUnited Nations economic vulnerability index inthe formula gives rise to allocations which notonly account for post conflict situations butalso inherent fragility. We also consider a lowerpopulation weight in order to address the problemof country size. This change helps avoidinconsistencies arising from the application ofcountry allocation ceilings in the various stagesof the computation. Finally, a few proposalsconcerning the African Development Fund’ssupport to regional integration are explored.
非洲开发银行通过一种主要根据受惠国经济政策和政治的质量的程序来分配其优惠资源。这种分配程序主要依赖于基于绩效的分配公式,对此可以从两个方面进行批评。首先,对经济政策和治理的重视被视为过度。其次,缺乏透明度和一致性。我们考虑如何修正这一模式,以便考虑到许多非洲国家的某些共同特征。主要的建议是用经济脆弱性标准来增加这个公式。数值模拟表明,在公式中引入联合国经济脆弱性指数,使得分配不仅考虑了冲突后局势,而且考虑了内在的脆弱性。我们还考虑降低人口比重,以解决国家大小的问题。这一改变有助于避免在计算的各个阶段应用国家拨款上限所引起的不一致。最后,对非洲发展基金支持区域一体化的一些建议进行了探讨。
