What is macroeconomics and why does studying the entire economy matter for us?
In short: This introductory lecture from MIT defines macroeconomics as the study of an economy as a whole. It provides a foundational overview of the course objectives, offering a glimpse into how economists analyze large-scale systems and national behavior.
Taught by Ricardo J. Caballero during the Spring 2023 semester, this lecture serves as the starting point for the 14.02 Principles of Macroeconomics course. It establishes the scope of the field, focusing on the aggregate behavior of economies rather than individual markets.
The session outlines the primary goals of the curriculum, which is part of MIT OpenCourseWare, a permanent initiative providing global access to university course materials.
