fiat money and Legal tender
Fiat money does not have any intrinsic value. What value it has depends on public confidence in the currency's issuer.
Legal tender is any currency declared legal by a government. Many governments issue a fiat currency and then make it legal tender by setting it as the standard for repaying debt.
Legal tender is any currency declared legal by a government. Many governments issue a fiat currency and then make it legal tender by setting it as the standard for repaying debt.
Ricardian Equivalence Theorem
The Government issues
more debt today to finance an increase in the Government Deficit, and Private
Saving increases by an equal amount, since the representative Consumer saves
more to pay the higher taxes in the future.
The Ricardian Equivalence Theorem. For example, holding the
path of Government purchases constant, if the representative consumer receives
a tax cut today, he/she knows that the government will have to make this up
with higher future taxes.

how price of related goods influence the demand? see the answer below
Related good
can be of two types-
1. COMPLIMENT
GOODS- These are those goods which are used together. E.g. Car and petrol.
2. SUBSTITUTE
GOODS- These are goods which are used in place of other goods. E.g. Tea coffee.
In case of
compliment goods,
Price of good 1
is inversely proportional to Demand of good 2.
So if there is
an increase in the price of petrol then quantity demanded for Car will
automatically decrease applying Law of Demand.
Whereas In case
of substitute goods,
Price of good 1
is directly proportional to Demand of good 2.
If there is an
increase in the price of tea, quantity demanded for coffee will also increase.
