“…Policy coherence has widely been recognised by OECD countries as a priority (Gary & Maurel, ; Manning & Hradsky, ). Surprisingly, however, interactions between the outcomes of policies that relate developed to developing countries have not received more systematic attention.…”

This paper takes as its point of departure the European Commission's position, set out in 2005, which laid clear emphasis on aid and trade as tools for controlling immigration. We attempt to subject this position to empirical investigation. We exploit data on bilateral aid, trade and migration flows between developed and developing countries, for the period 2000–10, adopting an instrumental variable approach to address the endogeneity issue due to potential simultaneity bias. Our results establish that increasing aid and trade with developing countries is likely to fail to contain immigration, at least in the short run. The pattern of results is consistent with the hypothesis that promoting development in migrant‐sending countries, or cooperating with such countries to control migration outflows, is not sufficient to lessen immigration. Increasing visa restrictions and controls at borders is generally controversial; still, the results imply that policymakers cannot attain their short‐term immigration goals with the so‐called smart solutions of aid and trade.

“…In contrast to Gary and Maurel (2015), we focus on the quality of the donors' aid policies in the following. Our analysis thus resembles the distinction between developmental and non-developmental aid by Minoiu and Reddy (2010).…”

“…Instead of assessing conditional aid effects, Gary and Maurel (2015) construct a measure of donors' policy consistency which includes aid as one of seven elements. 4 They find that more consistent donor policies are associated with higher growth in the recipient countries.…”

“…Thereby, we investigate whether the quality of life of individuals is rather influenced in the short-term (i.e., the effect of an ongoing project is dominant), in the long-term (i.e., the effect occurs a few years after a project was completed) or in circumstances where a past project is followed up by a new project. The interest lies in contributing to the question of the sustainability of development projects (see e.g., Gary and Maurel, 2015, Easterly, 2014, Moyo, 2010. Note that potential effects of past projects can hardly be uncovered through standard field experiments.…”
