Macro Economics Definition:
A study of the economy as a whole, particularly the interaction of its various components.
The study of the entire economy in terms of the total amount of goods and services produced, total income earned, the level of employment .
Components of Macro Economics
National Income Inflation Deflation Trade Cycle Aggregate Unemployment
Importance
It studies overall market structure. Overall production cost is considered. It is helpful to understand the functioning of complete economic system. Economics policies can’t be made just for an individual but made for nation as a whole. Overall tax expects of the country is considered. It is helpful to find the solution of current economic problems e.g. unemployment, inflation and poverty. In real view whole economy is more important than the individual.
Limitations
Individual is ignored in macro economics but the individual welfare is main aim of economics. Macro economics don’t show the individual difference. For instance, general price level may be stable but the prices of food grains are unbearable for the poor.
Differentiation
Study of any specific individual unit e.g. A Consumer, A Firm, An Industry, Fop's Micro approach should be applied when individual cases are to be examined. Economic policies made for efficient production.
Study of economy as a whole e.g. National Income, Inflation, Trade Cycle etc. Macro approach should be applied when aggregate problem are involved. Economic policies made for nation as a whole. Macro analysis is helpful to find the solution.
Conclusion The Micro and Macro economics are interdependent. Both approaches help to analyze the working of the economy. Sometimes Micro analysis is need and sometimes Macro analysis is need, but both are important and we can’t neglect any one. Macro approach should be applied when aggregate problems are involved and Macro approaches should be applied when individual cases are to be examined.
