The impact of terrorist designations on aid allocation: Exploiting a natural experiment in Yemen

Project Active from to Sustainable Growth and State Fragility initiative

This project examines how the United States’ designation of the Houthi rebel group as a terrorist organisation in 2021 affected aid distribution, commitments, and allocations in Yemen, specifically in Houthi-controlled areas. Findings are crucial for understanding the consequences of such designations on humanitarian efforts.
