               Introduction: Developed by Harry Markowitz in 1952, Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) revolutionized investment analysis. Before Markowitz, investors focused on the risks and returns of individual stocks. Markowitz argued that what matters is the portfolio as a whole . He introduced the concept that risk can be reduced through diversification — choosing assets that do not move perfectly together (low correlation). Assumptions To build the model, Markowitz assumed: i) Rationality: Investors want to maximize returns for a given level of risk. ii) Risk Aversion: Investors will only take more risk if they are compensated with higher expected returns. iii) Mean-Variance Analysis: Investors base decisions solely on expected returns (mean) and the variance (risk) of those returns. iv) Homogeneous Expectations: All investors have access to the same information and agree on the risk/return of assets. The Efficient Frontie...

Fiscal Policy is the use of government spending and taxation to influence the economy. It is one of the two primary tools for macroeconomic management—the other being monetary policy (managed by central banks). In simple terms, fiscal policy is how a government decides to earn money (taxes) and spend money (expenditure) to achieve specific goals like economic growth, full employment, and price stability. In Nepal, Fiscal Policy is the primary economic instrument used by the Government of Nepal (GoN) to manage the national economy through the annual Federal Budget . It operates via three main channels: government expenditure (G), revenue collection through taxation (T), and public borrowing.

Why Life is One Big Game of "This or That" Have you ever wanted to buy the latest iPhone, go on a trip with friends, and save money for your tuition fees all at the same time—only to realize your bank balance says you can only pick one? Congratulations! You’ve just experienced the core of modern economics. You’ve just met Lionel Robbins (1898–1984). While other economists were busy talking about gold and factories, Robbins looked at the human heart and realized that our desires are a bottomless pit, but our pockets have a floor. He is the man who proved that life is a series of difficult choices. If you are a student at  Sara Pathshala , you’ve likely seen his name in the first chapter of every economics book. But who was he really?

The Problem: The Confusion of "New Money": Most students think that only the Central Bank (NRB/RBI) can create money. They wonder: "If the bank only printed 100 rupees, how can the total deposits in the country be 1,000 rupees?" The answer is Commercial Bank Lending. The Step-by-Step Multiplier Process: Imagine the Central Bank sets the Required Reserve Ratio (RRR) at 10% . This means for every deposit, the bank must keep 10% in the vault and can lend the remaining 90%. Step A: You deposit Rs. 100 in Bank 1. Bank 1 keeps Rs. 10 (10%) and lends Rs. 90 to Person X. Step B: Person X buys a book. The Bookstore owner takes that Rs. 90 and deposits it into Bank 2. Bank 2 keeps Rs. 9 (10%) and lends Rs. 81 to Person Y. Step C: Person Y buys groceries. The Grocer deposits Rs. 81 into Bank 3. Bank 3 keeps Rs. 8.1 and lends the rest... Result: Even though there was only one physical 100-rupee note, the "Total Money Supply" (the sum of all deposi...
