The main task of economic subjects of microeconomics is to carry out economic choices due to limited
resources. In any society, the limited resources force to make choices in order to address the following
issues:
- what to produce and in what volume;
- how to make elected kinds of benefits;
- who gets what is produced;
- the amount of resources used for current consumption and what kind - for the future.
Modern Microeconomics studies how to solve the above-mentioned four main issues.
Macroeconomics examines the economy as a whole.
Microeconomics - the science of consumers and businesses.
In economic life there are three main parties: the family, the company and the state. They all interact with
each other directly and through factor markets. The main actor in the economy is a human being. For the
satisfaction of human needs, giving him a variety of goods and services, all economic activities are made in
any country. It is the people by their decisions determine the activities of companies and government
organizations. Economic science does not study natural phenomena, but human behavior in a variety of
business situations. Economic science helps people, businesses and the government to navigate the world of
market relations in order to avoid the negative effects of economic decision-making.
In spite of the existing difference of issues at the micro- and macro-economic, it should be taken into
account that these two components do not exist by themselves, but are closely linked. The significant gap
between the two sciences existed at the dawn of the emergence of macroeconomics and gradually more and
more is reduced. In fact, all modern macroeconomic concepts have microeconomic rationale, i.e. they are
based on certain behavioral microeconomic models, the results of which are aggregated and then studied at
the macro level.
