Macroeconomists study the amount of employment and unemployment. 错。宏观经济学研究的是一个国家的全面的或总的经济运行情况。我们研究以GDP衡量的一个国家的总的商品和服务的产值是如何决定的。我们将GDP分解为各个重要的组成部分并进而分析他们：消费、总投资、政府采购的商品和服务、以及商品和服务的净出口。我们还要考察就业和失业。 2. Macroeconomists study the price of individual products like beer. 错。我们考察一个国家中生产的商品和服务的美元价格。我们考察一个典型的或平均的价格时，我们指的是一般物价水平，我们也研究工资率、租赁价格、利率。我们研究一个以上国家的经济时，我们可以研究汇率。研究单个产品的价格只是一种商品的价格而已。 3. When the gross domestic product is growing, it is called inflation. 错。通胀指物价水平的持续地上涨，商品和服务的价格一直在增长或维持在一个很高的价位。 4.
