Model
No.
Dependent Variable / Purpose
1 HIV/AIDS rate 1997 / To review the original estimation by Over
(1998) and a re-estimation of Over (1998) including a variable for a
multisectoral HIV/AIDS program
2a HIV/AIDS rate 2005/ To identify significant political and societal
determinants of HIV/AIDS including a variable for a multisectoral
HIV/AIDS program
2b HIV/AIDS rate 2005/ A two-stage model of 2a with instrumental
variables for the multisectoral HIV/AIDS program variable to ensure
there is no reverse causality
2c HIV/AIDS rate 1995/ To identify significant political and societal determinants of
past HIV/AIDS including a variable for a multisectoral HIV/AIDS program
3a Change in HIV/AIDS between 1995 and 2005 / To identify significant political and
societal determinants of the change in HIV/AIDS including a variable for a
multisectoral HIV/AIDS program
3b Change in HIV/AIDS between 1995 and 2005 / A two-stage model of 3a with
instrumental variables for the multisectoral HIV/AIDS program variable to ensure
there is no reverse causality
4 Expenditures on HIV/AIDS 2005 / To identify significant political and societal
determinants of spending on HIV/AIDS including a variable for a multisectoral
HIV/AIDS program
5 Condom Awareness 2005 / To identify significant political and societal
determinants of condom awareness including a variable for a multisectoral
HIV/AIDS program

| Abstract | The proposed dissertation offers an explanation for the large differences in HIV/AIDS rates among 89 low and middle-income countries throughout the Sub Saharan African, Asian, and Latin American regions over a ten-year period (1995-2005). The HIV/AIDS rates in these countries vary widely and seemingly independently of economic wealth. One possible determinant of these differences is the presence and degree of development of strong multisectoral programs aimed at both prevention and cure of HIV/AIDS. The main hypothesis for this dissertation is: "A country's success in combating HIV/AIDS lies in the government's ability to implement an effective multisectoral program." This hypothesis is explored through quantitative models using data from the ten-year period (1995-2005). Results show that the presence of a multisectoral program over the ten-year period is associated with a significantly lower HIV/AIDS incidence rate by 2005. This effect is produced by controlling for various political, economic, societal, and institutional factors. Although there is some anecdotal evidence which suggests that multisectoral programs help to improve the HIV/AIDS problem in developing countries, there has been little if any empirical work done on this subject to date. |
