What Is Macroeconomics?
Macroeconomics is a branch of economics that studies how an overall
economy—the markets, businesses, consumers, and governments—
behave. Macroeconomics examines economy-wide phenomena such as
inflation, price levels, rate of economic growth, national income, gross
domestic product (GDP), and changes in unemployment.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
• Macroeconomics is the branch of economics that deals with the
structure, performance, behavior, and decision-making of the
whole, or aggregate, economy.
• The two main areas of macroeconomic research are long-term
economic growth and shorter-term business cycles.

• Macroeconomics in its modern form is often defined as starting
with John Maynard Keynes and his theories about market
behavior and governmental policies in the 1930s; several schools
of thought have developed since.
• In contrast to macroeconomics, microeconomics is more focused
on the influences on and choices made by individual actors in the
economy (people, companies, industries, etc.).
Understanding Macroeconomics
As the term implies, macroeconomics is a field of study that analyzes
an economy through a wide lens. This includes looking at variables like
unemployment, GDP, and inflation. In addition, macroeconomists
develop models explaining the relationships between these factors.
These models, and the forecasts they produce, are used by government
entities to aid in constructing and evaluating economic, monetary, and
fiscal policy. Businesses use the models to set strategies in domestic
and global markets, and investors use them to predict and plan for
movements in various asset classes.
