The study of Economics is typically divided into two parts: macroeconomics (or aggregate economic analysis) studies economics from a broad-based perspective, including problems and issues such as unemployment, inflation and economic growth; microeconomics studies economics in terms of individual components, including problems and issues such as product pricing, competition, regulation and international trade. Students of Economics can expect to become familiar with key economic concepts and laws which give them an analytical perspective that is unique to this discipline, but is of great importance to individuals and to society.
