Macro economics |
|
It is a study of the behavior of individual economic units
such as individual consumers, individual firms, individual prices, particular
commodities etc. |
It is a study of the behavior of large aggregates such as
national income, national output, aggregate demand, aggregate supply, general
price level etc. |
|
Micro economic uses slicing method. |
Macroeconomics uses lumping method. |
|
Micro economics is narrow concept. |
Macroeconomics is wider concept. |
|
Micro economics popularized by Marshall. |
Macroeconomics popularized by Keynes. |
|
Micro economic analysis is used at individual level. |
Macroeconomics analysis is used at national level. |
|
Micro economics is a partial equilibrium analysis. |
Macroeconomics is a general equilibrium analysis. |
|
Micro economics is known as price theory. |

all. |
|

|
Micro economics analysis assumes independence of economics
units. |
Micro economics analysis assumes interdependence of
economics units. |
Q.2 Partial Equilibrium and General Equilibrium
|
Partial Equilibrium |
General Equilibrium |
|
Micro economics uses partial equilibrium analysis based on
the assumption, other things remaining constant. |
Macro economics uses general equilibrium. It is not based
on assumption. |
|
It studies the equilibrium of a consumer, a firm, an
industry or a market. |
It deals with the equilibrium position of the economy as a
whole. |
|
It deals with one or two variables at a time. So it is
simple method. |
It deals with all the variables of the economic system
simultaneously. So it is sophisticated. |
|

small individual units for analysis. |
In lumping method, the entire economy as a whole is taken
into account for analysis. |
|
Micro economic uses slicing method. |
Macroeconomics uses lumping method. |
|
It focuses on the study of individual economic units like
individual demand. |
It focuses on the study of aggregate units of the economy
like aggregate demand. |
Q.4 Micro Theory of Distribution and Macro Theory of Distribution
|
Micro Theory of Distribution |
Macro Theory of Distribution |
|
Micro Theory of distribution refers to distribution of
Factor Income to individual factor owners for their contribution to the
production of a commodity or service. |
Macro theory of distribution refers to distribution of
National Income to factors like wages to the labourers, rent to landlords and
interest to capitalist. |
|
It is determined by the market forces of demand and supply |
It is determined by the aggregate demand and aggregate
supply and employment level in the country. |
|
Micro Variable |
Macro Variable |
|
Micro variables refer to individual demand, market demand,
individual supply, price of a commodity, etc. |
Macro variables refer to inflation rate, aggregate,
demand, aggregate supply, employment. |
|
Micro variables are mostly independent. It does not affect
the whole economy, as they are based on assumptions |
Macro Variables are inter related and inter dependent. It
affects the working of the economy as a whole. |
|
E.g., Price and Quantity demanded are universally
related. This will hold true only if the income of the consumer, taste,
fashion, etc., remain constant |
Change in aggregate demand, aggregate supply will
affect income, employment, etc. in the economy. |
|
Form utility |
Place utility |
|
It is created by changing the form or shape of goods |

|
Total Utility |
Marginal Utility |
|

MU continuously diminishes |
|
At point of satiety TU is maximum. |
At point of satiety MU is zero. |
|
After point of satiety TU starts diminishing. |
