World Development Indicators provides data on net bilateral aid flows from Development Assistance Committee donors to Norway, measured in current U.S. dollars. The dataset covers net disbursements of official development assistance and official aid, calculated as gross disbursements minus principal repayments. Data collection for official aid flows to certain advanced countries concluded in 2004.
Use Cases
- Analyze trends in net aid disbursement values over time for Norway from specific DAC donors like the United States or Japan.
- Compare the scale of bilateral aid flows to Norway against other recipient countries using the 'current US$' metric.
- Model the relationship between a donor's economic indicators and its net aid flows to Norway using time-series data.
- Assess the impact of policy changes, such as the 2005 abolition of the DAC Part II list, on reported aid flows.
Strengths
- Data is standardized using the official DAC definitions and reporting frameworks for aid.
- Includes flows from all 30 DAC members, including major donors and European Union Institutions.
- Values are reported in a consistent unit (current U.S. dollars) for comparative analysis.
Limitations
- Specific row count, time range, and update frequency for the Norway series are not provided.
- Data on official aid flows to advanced countries like Norway is noted as ending with 2004 data, limiting temporal coverage.
- Regional aggregates include unspecified economies, which may reduce granularity for some analyses.
