Microeconomics and Macroeconomics
Microeconomics focuses on the individual parts of the economy.
How households and firms make decisions and how they interact in specific markets
Macroeconomics looks at the economy as a whole.
Economy-wide phenomena, including inflation, unemployment, and economic growth

WHY ECONOMISTS DISAGREE
They may disagree about the validity of alternative positive theories about how the world works.

They may have different values and, therefore, different normative views about what policy should try to accomplish.

Summary
Economists try to address their subjects with a scientist’s objectivity.
They make appropriate assumptions and build simplified models in order to understand the world around them.
Two simple economic models are the circular-flow diagram and the production possibilities frontier.

Economics is divided into two subfields:
Microeconomists study decisionmaking by households and firms in the marketplace.
Macroeconomists study the forces and trends that affect the economy as a whole

Summary
A positive statement is an assertion about how the world is.
A normative statement is an assertion about how the world ought to be.
When economists make normative statements, they are acting more as policy advisors than scientists.

Summary
Economists who advise policymakers offer conflicting advice either because of differences in scientific judgments or because of differences in values.
At other times, economists are united in the advice they offer, but policymakers may choose to ignore it.
