Study Notes

Microeconomics vs Macroeconomics

The primary focus of microeconomics is on the behavior and decision-making of individual economic units, such as households, firms, and markets.
One of the goals of microeconomics is to understand how these individual units allocate limited resources to meet their unlimited wants and needs.
Microeconomics differs from macroeconomics in that it focuses on the specific actions and decisions of individual entities, whereas macroeconomics looks at the economy as a whole.
Microeconomics shows the conditions for achieving efficiency in the allocation of resources, and the determination of prices and output in individual markets.
Macroeconomics, on the other hand, primarily deals with the economy's overall performance, including issues such as economic growth, inflation, and unemployment.
