A macroeconomist examines an economy as a whole with a view to understanding the interaction between economic aggregates such as national income, employment and inflation. Note that general equilibrium theory combines concepts of a macro-economic view of the economy, but does so from a strictly constructed microeconomic viewpoint.



Economics can also be divided into numerous sub-disciplines that do not always fit neatly into the macro-micro categorization. These sub-disciplines include: international economics, labour economics, welfare economics, neuroeconomics, information economics, resource economics, ecological economics, environmental economics, managerial economics, financial economics, urban economics, mathematical economics, development economics, industrial organization, retail economics, war economics, public finance, agricultural economics, transport economics, media economics, monetary economics, economic history, economic psychology, economic sociology, economic anthropology, economic archaeology, and economic geography.

A macroeconomist studies the entire economy as an aggregate instead of studying an individual consumer or an individual firm.

the problems that a macroeconomist studies are essentially of aggregates. here we are looking at larger policies and measures, that are suggested after studying the behaviour of the functioning of the entire system and its interaction with the various units that are essentially a part of the system ad its interaction with other systems. also it studies the collective behaviour of units like markets, individuals, households, firms etc..

Microeconomics studies the behavior of economic individuals or "agents" (i.e. the consumer, the firm, the household), whereas Macroeconomics specializes in the study of the aggregate behavior of these "agents" when looked at as a group (i.e. countries, economic trading blocks, and so on).
