Description: Economics is the study of how society manages its scarce resources. Economics has been divided into the subcategories of microeconomics and macroeconomics. While microeconomics focuses on the behavior of individual economic agents, this course - macroeconomics - studies how economists measure macroeconomic variables and covers topics such as determination of national output, economic growth, unemployment, inflation, interest rates, and exchange rates. Macroeconomics also discusses and assesses the effectiveness of monetary and fiscal policies under different scenarios.
