I argue that both aid and conditionality are IPGs primarily based on Morrissey et al. (n.d., 4-5), because the benefits of these IPGs are available in all countries. Moreover, in principle, every state of the world can get benefit from these IPGs, if it desires and finally, both provide utility to every recipient, whether it is a Benthamic pain or pleasure. Critics may argue that aid and conditionality are not always available and provide a similar benefit to all who desire them. Although in reality, it is the shared nature of all IPGs, including the purer IPGs, the disease protection, not in principle. Also, the donors' willingness to provide these IPGs is to make the utility of the benefits of these IPGs, available to all recipients, which reflects Easterly's "cartel of good intentions" (Easterly 2002). Similarly, considering the Susturt Network report (2002) and Bodnsky’s (2012) idea, aid and conditionality are non-rival and non-excludable IPGs, where the benefit of these products are available to everybody whether someone produces it or not.
Moreover, considering Stiglitz’s explanation of Global Public Goods (GPGs) and the instances he presented, like economic coordination, environment, knowledge, international security and humanitarian assistance (Stiglitz 1999, F579), I think both the aid and conditionality are the GPGs.
This is a draft explanation. I welcome all of you to comment on my explanation and give guidelines to improve the idea.
