Question:

Which of the following tries to address situations facing the economy as a whole?

Options:

Microeconomics

Macroeconomics

Economics

Central Problems

Correct Answer:

Macroeconomics

Explanation:

In microeconomics, we study the behaviour of individual economic agents in the markets for different goods and services and try to figure out how prices and quantities of goods and services are determined through the interaction of individuals in these markets. In macroeconomics, on the other hand, we try to get an understanding of the economy as a whole by focusing our attention on aggregate measures such as total output, employment and aggregate price level. Here, we are interested in finding out how the levels of these aggregate measures are determined and how the levels of these aggregate measures change over time.
