Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The release of real GDP growth rate is a macroeconomic indicator, and therefore, it is most likely written by a macroeconomist who studies the overall performance of the economy. Monetary economists focus on money supply, interest rates, and central bank policies, microeconomists study the behavior of individual consumers and firms, and labor economists analyze the labor market, making them less likely to author a report on real GDP growth rate.
