The sample in Column (II) excludes the US. Cluster-robust standard errors at the donor level are reported in parenthe- sis. Significance levels: ": 10%; ": 5%; "; 1X. (a) (2 points) Is there evidence of convergence reported in this table? (b) (3 points) Describe the relationship between elections and humanitarian aid focusing on Column (1). Comment also on statistical significance. (c) (3 points) Compare the regression results reported in Column (1) with the regression results reported in Column (III). What is the difference? Why do the authors include the Column (III) regression in addition to the Column (1) regression? Carefully explain. d) (2 points) What is the R" in the regression reported in Column (1)? What does this number mean? Explain
