    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.
