This paper empirically investigates the effects of governance quality on the num‑
ber of African asylum seekers in Europe over the period 1996–2018 and evaluates
the extent to which official development aid acts as a catalyst. With this purpose in
mind, different gravity model specifications and estimation approaches have been
employed. The obtained results suggest that the asylum flows are strongly deter‑
mined by governance quality in the country of origin and that this effect does depend
on the amount of foreign aid received from developed countries. Moreover, it is also
found that development aid is only effective in reducing asylum applications com‑
ing from countries with good governance. Moreover, we find no differences in the
estimated elasticity of foreign aid on asylum claims for the beneficiaries of the Euro‑
pean Union Emergency Trust Fund (EUTF) for Africa, the main aim of which has
been to improve living conditions of potential migrants in their countries of origin. [-]
