Over the last few decades, the amount of money given in development aid has increased considerably in recent decades, from 86 billion constant US dollars in 2002 to 223 billion in 2023. However, challenges associated with development persist, raising the question of aid effectiveness. Is it the size of the budgets allocated that is lacking, or is it the way in which this aid is spent? Economist Nathalie Ferrière explores the issue.

Only in French - “Economic crises”, an educational lecture by researcher Céline Poilly (AMU/AMSE) as part of the Sciences Echos cycle.

When universities award scholarships, a large portion of the budget is taken up by administrative costs, reducing the amount that students actually receive. Economists Mohamed Belhaj, Frédéric Deroïan and Shahir Safi, demonstrate that where there are good working synergies between students, targeting a strategic sub-group of students rather than distributing funding evenly can optimise efficiency and reduced administrative costs.

Only in fresh | In this book, economists, including Fanny Henriet (CNRS/AMSE) and Quentin Lippman (AMU/AMSE), unravel the reasons behind the crises and, above all, outline the prospects for better democratic functioning at all levels of society and institutions: in their view, this is the key to meeting the challenges of the century.
