Replication data for: Keeping a Low Profile: What Determines the Allocation of Aid by Non-Governmental Organizations?

We refine an earlier cross-national analysis by Koch, et al (2009) on the determinants of location and allocation decisions by international non-governmental organizations. Using a more explicit causal framework, multiple imputation and coarsened exact matching, we come to qualitatively similar but analytically more robust conclusions. Shared colonial heritage and shared religion increase the probability that a large international NGO locates in a country. The share of exports from an NGO’s home country that go to a recipient country does not affect the level of aid allocated by the NGO in the recipient country. More harmonious UNGA voting between an NGO’s home country and the recipient country decreases the level of aid allocated by the NGO in the recipient country. We also provide more credible and easily interpretable measures of effect size, and we discuss implications and directions for future research.
