Macroeconomics: the study of the economy-wide phenomena, including inflation, unemployment, and economic growth. Gdp measures two things at once: he total income of everyone in the economy and the total expenditure on the economy"s output of goods and services. For the economy as a whole, income must equal expenditure. Every transaction has two parties: a buyer and a seller. Every dollar of spending by some buyer is a dollar of income for some seller. We can compute gdp for this economy in one of two ways: by adding up the total expenditure by households or by adding up the total income (wages, rent, and profit) paid by firms.
