Hi Phillip, Sorry to say that my reply may not directly serve your query. However, your note did remind me of a group I recently came across- the Poverty Action Lab at MIT, which ultimately assesses the effectiveness of development aid spending (does it fall short of what is really needed? does it really help?). I think it's a great research question - with obvious practical implications. For more information http://www.povertyactionlab.com/
