Microeconomics (or price theory) is a branch of
economics that studies how individuals, households, and firms make decisions to allocate limited resources, typically in markets where goods or services are being bought and sold. Microeconomics examines how these decisions and behaviours affect the
supply and demand for goods and services, which determines prices, and how prices, in turn, determine the supply and demand of goods and services.
Macroeconomics, on the other hand, involves the "sum total of economic activity, dealing with the issues of
growth,
inflation, and
unemployment and with national economic policies relating to these issues" and the effects of government actions (e.g., changing
taxation levels) on them. Particularly in the wake of the
Lucas critique, much of modern macroeconomic theory has been built upon 'microfoundations' — i.e. based upon basic assumptions about micro-level behaviour.
