AP Macroeconomics examines how human beings make decisions about the allocation of scarce resources among alternative uses. The three major components of study are economic fundamentals, including supply and demand, margin decision-making, and economic efficiency; microeconomics, which focuses on how consumers and producers make economic decisions; and macroeconomics, which explores concepts such as unemployment, inflation, and the role of money in the economy. This course, recommended for juniors and seniors, will prepare students for the AP Macroeconomics exam.
