microeconomic = supply side economics - structural things like how regulated industries that supply things are. So it has a lot to do with the structure of the economic, like trade, finance and employment.

macroeconomics = demand side economics - your looking at fiscal and monetary policy in altering the amount of demand there is. Things like interst rates, where if they are high, demand is low coz people don't want to borrow much money.
