macroeconomists
National economy analysts
Macroeconomists are economists who study large-scale economic systems—national economies, international trade, aggregate measures like GDP, inflation, and unemployment.
They analyze how government policies, central bank decisions, and global forces shape economic conditions: Macroeconomists debate whether the stimulus prevented a deeper recession.
Distinguished from microeconomists, who focus on individual markets and firm behavior.
