Macroeconomics

Macroeconomics is the study of economy-wide outcomes - unemployment, inflation and economic growth - which have an important impact on the general level of economic well-being in a society. An emphasis is placed on how government policy, particularly fiscal and monetary policies, can alter economic outcomes.

Macroeconomics is an important area for students interested in further study in economics or social sciences, and as a preparation for employment in business or government.
