Macroeconomic theory is concerned with the broad variables that affect the status of the economy as a whole, such as factors affecting aggregate consumptions, production, investment, and international trade. The focus is on the larger view of economic stability and growth, providing a global or aggregate perspective. This can include comparing health care spending between countries or entities. Microeconomic theory addresses supply (quantity of services available) and demand (consumer's willingness to buy services) and studies how allocation and distribution affect consumer demand for goods and services.
