Ireland's Net Bilateral Aid Flows from DAC Donors in Current US Dollars

Net bilateral aid flows from Development Assistance Committee (DAC) donors to Ireland, measured in current US dollars. The data covers disbursements of official development assistance (ODA) and official aid, net of loan repayments, from DAC members including Australia, Austria, Belgium, and others. It is sourced from the World Bank's World Development Indicators collection.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in Ireland's net aid receipts over time using the annual time-series values.
• Compare Ireland's aid inflows against other Part II DAC recipients using the country-specific data field.
• Model the relationship between aid flows and economic indicators using the monetary value feature in current US dollars.
• Study the impact of the 2005 DAC list restructuring by examining data before and after the official aid collection ended in 2004.

Strengths

• Data is defined by the standardized DAC methodology for official development assistance.
• Includes flows from all 30 DAC members and European Union Institutions.
• Values are reported in a consistent unit (current US dollars) for comparability.

Limitations

• Data collection for official aid to Part II countries, including Ireland, ended with 2004 records.
• Sample size and temporal coverage are unknown from the description.
• Regional aggregates include unspecified economies, which may reduce granularity for country-specific analysis.
