ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Macroeconomic model

A macroeconomic model is like a set of rules. It tries to explain how the economy works and how different things, like interest rates, taxes, spending and production, are connected and how they affect each other. Imagine the economy is like an engine, and the different parts of the model are like the different pieces of the engine. The model helps us to understand how the different pieces fit together to make the engine work right and efficiently.
