This document provides an overview of the key differences between microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics studies small economic units like individual markets, firms, and consumers. It focuses on topics like supply and demand and price determination. Macroeconomics takes a broader view of the overall economy, examining aggregates like national income, output, unemployment, and inflation. It analyzes how fiscal and monetary policy impact economic growth and health at a national level. The document outlines the different units of analysis, tools, and central problems of microeconomics versus macroeconomics.

2. MICROECONMIC AND MACRO ECONOMY
 MICROECONOMICS:- The micro means small, so it shouldn’t be surprising that
microeconomics is the study of small economic units. The field of microeconomics is concerned
with thing like:
 Customer decision making and utility maximization
 Firm production and profit maximization
 Individual market equilibrium
 Effects of government regulation on individual markets
 Externalities and other market side effects

3.  MACROECONOMICS:- Macroeconomics can be though of as the “big picture”
version of economics. Rather than analyzing individual market, macroeconomics focuses on
aggregate production and consumption in an economy. Some topics that macroeconomics
study are:
 The effects of general taxes such as income and sales taxes on output prices
 The causes of economics upswings and downturns
 The effects of monetary and fiscal policy on economics health
 How interest rates are determined
 Why some economics grow faster than others
