Explain micro and macro economics including their scope.

Micro-economics
The term micro has been derived from the Greek word micros. Which means small .in
micro-economics attention is concentrated on a very small part of individual units. The
micro-economics is the study of “the particular firms, house hold, individual prices,
wages, incomes ext. it studies for example the motive of a business man in diverting his
capital from the cotton textile industry to the Weller industry for increasing the
production of commodity A rather than B. WIKKIAN FELLNER has termed micro
economics as the study of individual decision making units. It implies that an individual
buyer or seller’s behavior in the marketing the face condition of demand or supply of a
particular commodity, is the object of study in micro-economics

resources are given. The following chart given of view of the scope of micro-economics.

MACRO-ECONOMICES:
This also derived from Greek word macros, meaning large. It implies the study of
economics aggregates or the wholes. The problems like full employment, unemployment,
economic stability and economic growth cannot be accurately investigated through the
examination of infinitesimally Small units like individual consumer, producer, workers or
firms. The action of a single employer cannot have a perceptible impact upon the
employment situation of a country. The production or investment by a single firm is
unlike to generate cyclical fluctuations. The proper analysis of such problem requires an
aggregated thinking. Full employment, economic growth and instability are concerned
with entire economic system. Their analysis and solution in the right perspective can be
possible only if a macro approach and aggregative instrument of analysis and policy are
employed.

HANSON has interpreted macro economics as “that branch of economics which


considers relationship between large aggregated such as volume of employment, total
amount of saving and investment, the national income, etc.

This indicates that the scope of our analysis is not simply restricted to the investigation of
the total magnitude of the economic variable but their inter relations too are essential part
of the macro-economic analysis
