From the Paper:

"Economics studies the behavior of the aggregate economy. It is broken down into two parts: microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics analyzes market behavior of individual consumers and firms to understand the decision-making process of firms and households (Lieberman et al, 2000, p. 337). Macroeconomics is the study and measurement of an entire economy. Macroeconomics studies the movement and trends in the economy as a whole, while in microeconomics the focus is on factors that affect the decisions made by firms and individuals. "
