Transfer Interest Area
From the Great Depression to everyday transactions, economics has a huge impact on people's lives, but how do we understand economics? This field is broken down into macroeconomics (the performance of the economy as a whole) and microeconomics (the economic behavior of consumers or firms). Macroeconomics includes topics such as economic growth, inflation, changes in employment and unemployment, international trade performance, and the relative success or failure of government and Federal Reserve economic policies. While microeconomics looks at the efficient allocation of scarce resources between alternative uses, with consumers seeking to maximize happiness and firm seeking to maximize profit.
