      abstract = {This paper clarifies linkages between food aid and food  trade, both theoretically and
empirically. A theoretical  model first shows that domestic policy is crucial for the  trade effects of food aid.
Food trade may fall, remain  constant, or even rise due to increased food aid. The  important issue is
whether the recipient country's  government spends the counterpart funds to subsidize demand  or supply.
Estimated cereal import demand functions for  Botswana, Egypt, Morocco, Peru, and Sudan indicate  very
different reactions of food imports to food aid across  countries. The paper also investigates from the
donor's  point of view how a country's food import position affects  the amount of food aid it receives. A
cross-country  analysis of the allocations of the EC's food aid reveals  that per-capita food aid is higher the
lower the per-capita  income of a recipient country, the worse its  balance-of-payments situation, and the
more it depends on  food imports.},
