Abstract :Some countries suffer budget deficit problems. Such countries sell bonds or create money to finance their budget deficits. Ricardian Equivalence Theorem (RET) suggests that budget deficits should be financed by selling bonds because this is only postponement of taxes. This article tries to examine whether the RET holds in developing countries or not. RET has many assumptions. These assumptions will be analysed for developing countries.Keywords :
