Abstract	How does bilateral Japanese foreign aid affect the allocation of government expenditures and revenues? Using a nonlinear model with asymmetric loss function and data from Bangladesh, an answer to this question was sought. The answer turns out to be dependent upon the type of policymakers. The model distinguishes between eight different types of policymakers. The most likely type for Bangladesh during the period 1975-92 turns out to be a nondevelopmentalist, statist, and fiscally-liberal type. Inflows of aid increase nondevelopment expenditures more than the development expenditures. However, Japanese aid seems to have been more successful in creating development expenditures than aid from other sources -- bilateral and multilateral. Regardless of the type of source, all aid also seems to dampen domestic revenue-raising efforts. --Journal abstract
