Analýza faktorů selekce a alokace české rozvojové pomoci s využitím panelových dat a metod Probit a Tobit
Factors of Czech Aid Selection and Allocation: Panel Probit and Tobit Analysis

Summary/Abstract: The aim of our paper is to identify factors that infl uence the territorial selection and allocation of development aid of the Czech Republic. We applied random-eff ects probit and tobit models in our regression analysis which revealed that fl ows of Czech aid to individual developing countries are determined by variety of factors. Czech interests and mutual relations were mostly identifi ed as statistically signifi cant determinants, namely export volumes, closer historical relations and geographical proximity. The presence of Czech embassy in a country was not confi rmed as a signifi cant factor. The refl ection of recipients’ needs in Czech aid selection and allocation is rather ambiguous. While Czech aid fl ows depend positively on total population and negatively on per capita income of recipient countries, they are positively infl uenced by the recipients’ level of social development. Similarly, the Czech Republic tends to give (more) aid to more democratic and freer countries with lower institutional quality.
