Do donors cooperatively fund foreign aid?

“…conferring purely public benefits so that free riding amongst donors may be a concern (Anand, 2004;Kanbur, Sandler, & Morrison, 1999). Foreign aid has been estimated as providing a large and growing share (over 40Q of all aid) in the form of public goods to recipient nations (e.g., Ferroni & Mody, 2002;World Bank, 2001).…”

“…Anand (2004),Kaul, Stern & Grunberg (1999),Kaul et al (2003), andSandler (1997Sandler ( , 2004 cover several issues related to global and regional public goods, ranging from financing considerations to the underlying nature of these public goods.…”

New face of development assistance: public goods and changing ethics

“…Much of this increase was in terms of NPGs: during 1996-98, 29.40 per cent of official assistance funded NPGs compared with 8.79 per cent for TPGs. Raffer (1999) 4 In a interesting article, Anand (2004) indicated that this third property is, at times, institutionally determined and not necessarily an innate property of the good. This is also true for non-rivalry and non-excludability.…”

Paying for International Environmental Public Goods

“…We focus on the group of ecosystem services that are both public and international. These are services that: (i) cover more than one group of countries; (ii) benefit not only a broad spectrum of countries but also a broad spectrum of the global population; (iii) meet the needs of both present and future generations (Kaul et al 1999;Anand 2004). International public goods generated in any one county must therefore generate spillover effects beyond a nation's boundary (Morrissey et al 2002).…”

“…In most cases, it is not possible for any single state to provide such goods on its own. International public good supply depends on either international coordination or international cooperation (Anand 2004).…”
