From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Macroeconomics (from prefix "macr(o)-" meaning "large" + "economics") is a branch of economics that deals with the performance, structure, and behavior of a national or regional economy as a whole. Along with microeconomics, macroeconomics is one of the two most general fields in economics. It is the study of the behavior and decision-making of entire economies. Macroeconomists study aggregated indicators such as GDP, unemployment rates, and price indices to understand how the whole economy functions. Macroeconomists develop models that explain the relationship between such factors as national income, output, consumption, unemployment, inflation, savings, investment, international trade and international finance. In contrast, microeconomics is primarily focused on the actions of individual agents, such as firms and consumers, and how their behavior determines prices and quantities in specific markets. While macroeconomics is a broad field of study, there are two areas of research that are emblematic of the discipline: the attempt to understand the causes and consequences of short-run fluctuations in national income (the business cycle), and the attempt to understand the determinants of long-run economic growth (increases in national income). Macroeconomic models and their forecasts are used by both governments and large corporations to assist in the development and evaluation of economic policy and business strategy.

GNU Free Documentation License What is microeconomics and how does it differ from macroeconomics? Q. Please help me answer this with 10 sentences above. Give a comprehensive view as much as possible. Thanks! God bless you! Asked by macedon - Fri Nov 21 10:32:36 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I don't see any 10 sentences. Macroeconomics is the economics of the whole community. It deals with the overall or average properties of the parts of the "big picture" and avoids individuals, companies or even certain sectors of the full society. It does involve the behaviour of the production, consumption banking and government parts of the society as well as the land-owning and capitalist aspects when lumped together. Microeconomics deals with the analysis of the workings of the firm and with the more detailed relationships between the various firms as well as accountancy and the banking institutions when these are represented as separate bodies.

Answered by Sarah - Sat May 17 12:54:24 2008 Does it make sense to self-study the AP Microeconomics but not the AP Macroeconomics?
Q. I've already decided to self-study the AP micro exam, but I fear I will not have enough time to self-study the AP Macroeconomics. However, they are pretty closely related and all the test prep books combine them to make one economics book. Any suggestions? Asked by David - Thu Mar 22 18:46:25 2007 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments A.
