Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that macroeconomics studies the economy as a whole, focusing on aggregate variables like total output, inflation, and unemployment.
Recognize that microeconomics, in contrast, focuses on the decisions and behaviors of individual economic agents such as households and firms.
Identify that microeconomics analyzes how these individual units make choices about resource allocation, production, and consumption.
