Impact of Chinese Aid and Investment in Liberia

USAID published on 1 November 2016 a study titled "China and the African State: Evidence from Surveys, Survey Experiments, and Behavioral Games in Liberia" by Robert A. Blair, Brown University, and Philip Roessler, College of William and Mary.

Contrary to expectations, the study found that although exposure to Chinese aid and investment has improved Africans' perceptions of Chinese donors and investors, it generally has not affected their views of their own governments, nor has it changed their willingness to contribute to government social service provision through tax compliance.
