By incorporating time series data of the three mentioned countries from 1993 to 2009 and application of ARDL approach, the results indicate that there is a negative long run relationship between foreign aid and growth in Cambodia and Vietnam, whereas foreign aid has no impact on growth in Lao PDR within the period of study. Hence, our empirical findings imply that aid recipient countries need to seek for other alternative ways to stimulate growth since foreign aid is not the panacea.
