Macroeconomics provides us with a bird’s eye view of country’s economic landscape. Instead of looking at behavior of individual businesses and consumers – called microeconomics – the goal of macroeconomics is to look at overall economic trends such as employment levels, economic growth, balance of payments, inflation and so on.

Microeconomics is generally the study of individual and business decisions, macroeconomics looks at higher up country and government decisions Macroeconomics and microeconomics, and their wide array of underlying concepts, have been the subject of a great deal of writings The field of study is vast; here is a brief summary of what each covers: Sự khác kinh tế học vi mơ kinh tế học vĩ mơ gì? Kinh tế học vi mơ nhìn chung nghiên cứu định cá nhân doanh nghiệp, kinh tế học vĩ mơ có nhìn tầm cao định phủ quốc gia Kinh tế học vĩ mô kinh tế học vi mô, với dãy nguyên lý bản, trở thành đề tài nhiều viết Với lĩnh vực nghiên cứu rộng lớn; sau tóm tắt ngắn gọn điểm phân ngành: 13 Reading P7 Microeconomics is the study of decisions that people and businesses make regarding the allocation of resources and prices of goods and services This means also taking into account taxes regulations created by government Microeconomics focuses on supply and demand and other forces that determine the price levels seen in the economy For example, microeconomics would look at how a specific company could maximize it’s production and capacity so it could lower prices and better compete in its industry Kinh tế học vi mô nghiên cứu định cá nhân tổ chức xem xét đến phân bổ nguồn lực giá hàng hóa, dịch vụ Phương thức nói thuế quy định phủ đề Kinh tế học vi mô tập trung vào cung cầu thứ khác xác định mức giá kinh tế Ví dụ, kinh tế học vi mơ tìm hiểu cơng ty cụ thể làm để tối đa hóa sản lượng suất họ để hạ giá thành tăng sức cạnh tranh ngành 14 Reading P8 Macroeconomics, on the other hand, is the field of economics that studies the behavior of the economy as a whole and not just on specific companies, but entire industries and economies This looks economy-wide phenomena, such as Gross National Product (GDP) and how it is affected by changes in unemployment, national income, rate of growth, and price levels For example, macroeconomics would look at how an increase/decrease in net exports would affect a nation’s capital account or how GDP would be affected by unemployment rate Mặt khác, kinh tế học vĩ mô ngành nghiên cứu hành vi kinh tế không doanh nghiệp cụ thể mà tổng thể ngành cơng nghiệp kinh tế Nó tập trung vào tượng toàn kinh tế, tổng sản phẩm quốc nội (GDP) chịu ảnh hưởng thay đổi tỷ lệ thất nghiệp, thu nhập quốc dân, tỷ lệ tăng trưởng mức giá Ví dụ, kinh tế học vĩ mơ xem xét đến tăng/ giảm xuất ròng có tác động tới cán cân vốn quốc gia hay tỷ lệ thất nghiệp tác động đến GDP 15 Reading P9 While these two studies of economics appear to be different, they are actually interdependent and complement one other since there are many overlapping issues between the two fields For example, increased inflation (macro effect) would cause the price of raw materials to increase for companies and in turn affect the end product’s price charge to the public Q: Why is it said that microeconomics and macroeconomics are interdependent and complement one another? A:Because there are many overlapping issues between the two fields For example, increased inflation (macro effect) would cause the price of raw materials to increase for companies and in turn affect the end product’s price charged to the public Trong hai nghiên cứu kinh tế dường khác nhau, thực tế chúng lại phụ thuộc bổ sung lẫn có nhiều trùng khớp đưa hai linh vực Ví dụ, lạm phát tăng (ảnh hưởng vĩ mô) khiến giá nguyên vật liệu thô tăng cơng ty thay đổi đến giá thành cuối đưa thị trường 16 Reading P10 The bottom line is that microeconomics takes a bottom-up approach to analyzing the economy while macroeconomics takes a top-down approach Regardless, both micro and macroeconomics provide fundamental tools for any finance professional and should be studied together in order to fully understand how companies operate and earn revenues and thus, how an entire economy is managed and sustained Điểm mấu chốt kinh tế học vi mơ xem xét yếu tố cụ thể để phân tích kinh tế kinh tế học vĩ mô xem xét đến toàn thể kinh tế Dù vậy, kinh tế học vi mô kinh tế học vĩ mô cung cấp công cụ chủ yếu cho chuyên gia tài chúng nên nghiên cứu để hiểu cách đầy đủ cách mà công ty hoạt động kiếm thu nhập theo đó, hiểu tồn kinh tế quản lý trì 17 Reading Q: What is the difference between microeconomics and macroeconomics?
