Ricardian equivalence
(economics) The idea that consumers are forward-looking and so internalize the government's budget constraint when making their consumption decisions, so that, for a given pattern of government spending, the method of financing such spending does not affect agents' consumption decisions, and thus does not change aggregate demand.
formal equivalence
(translation studies) An approach to translation centered on preserving formal features (such as vocabulary or syntax) of the source in the translated text; word-for-word equivalence.
