Introduction To Applied Economics 3

This document provides an overview of macroeconomics and microeconomics. It explains that macroeconomics deals with large-scale aggregates of the entire economy, such as national income and output, and interprets the economy as a whole. Microeconomics, on the other hand, focuses on the small constituents of the economy like individual units, households, and firms, and interprets economic behavior at a smaller level. The document also provides examples of topics that would fall under macroeconomics, such as unemployment rates and inflation, versus those that are part of microeconomics, like individual prices and supply and demand of specific goods.
