Notes 1. The eight Millennium Development Goals are, in brief: (1) to halve extreme income poverty; (2) to achieve universal primary education; (3) to promote gender equality; (4) to reduce the under-five mortality rate by two-thirds; (5) to reduce the maternal mortality rate by three-quarters; (6) to reduce the incidence of AIDS; (7) to promote sustainable development and to halve the percentage of people without access to safe drinking water; and (8) to set up a global partnership for development involving more generous and more widespread official development assistance. 2. CRS data are available at the OECD Web site http://www.oecd.org/document/0/0,2340, en_2649_34447_37679488_1_1_1_1,00.html. 3. Unlike us, Mishra and Newhouse (2007) include in their sample data on health commitments covering the 1960s and 1970s. 4. Note that the introduction of country fixed effects contributes to solving, although imperfectly, the omitted variable bias.
