Microeconomics and Macroeconomics:

The Two Branches of Economics

The detailed study of product, labour, and capital markets is called microeconomics. Microeconomics focuses on the behaviour of the units – the firms, households, and individuals – that make up the economy. It is concerned with how the individual units make decisions and what affects those decisions. By contrast, macroeconomics looks at the behaviour of the economy as a whole, in particular the behaviour of such aggregate measures as overall rates of unemployment, inflation, economic growth, and the balance of trade. The aggregate numbers do not tell us what any firm or household is doing. They tell us what is happening in total or on average.

It is important to remember that these perspectives are simply two ways of looking at the same thing. Microeconomics is the bottom-up view of the economy; macroeconomics is the top-down view. The behaviour of the economy as a whole is dependent on the behaviour of the units that make it up.

The automobile industry is a story of both micro- and macrotconomics. It is a story of microeconomic interactions of individual companies, investors, and trade unious. It is also a story of global macroeconomic forces such as oil shortages and economic fluctuations. When car companies cut employment because demand has fallen, their problems boost the overall unemployment rate.
